It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the press service of the department.
As recalled by the department, Russian airlines regularly record cases of “attack and physical impact of passengers” on flight attendants and other passengers during flights.
“In order to exclude such cases, ensure flight safety, as well as preserve the life and health of the crew and passengers, it is proposed to provide crew members and aviation security officers with the right to use special means of restraint,” the Ministry of Transport said.
In the event of a threat to flight safety or a threat to life, it is proposed to equip aircraft with plastic handcuffs and nylon belts.
“This measure will eliminate further illegal actions on the part of the violator.
At the same time, access by unauthorized persons to such means of containment should be excluded, ”the department stressed.
