No-fly List

In the context of aviation, a No-fly List is a list created and maintained by a country's government, specifically by its law enforcement or intelligence agencies. This list contains the names of individuals who are prohibited from boarding a commercial aircraft for travel within, into, or out of the country. The primary purpose of a No-fly List is to ensure the security of commercial aviation from threats such as terrorism. The individuals on this list are considered a threat based on their past actions or credible intelligence suggesting potential future actions that could jeopardize the safety of air travel. The process of adding individuals to the No-fly List varies by country and is often subject to legal and policy constraints. In some cases, individuals may not be aware that they are on the No-fly List until they attempt to travel. The No-fly List is one of several security measures used in the aviation industry to mitigate risks and ensure the safety of passengers and crew.
