Against that backdrop, Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu on Monday said the government plans to take legislative actions to deal with instances of bomb threats to airlines, including placing perpetrators of such threats on the no-fly list. At a briefing in the national capital, Naidu said amendments are being planned to aviation security rules as well as the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against Safety of Civil Aviation Act, 1982.
The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security is continuously in touch with the Ministry of Home Affairs on the situation of bomb threats to flights, he said.
