Are you a frequent flyer who loves to jam out to your favorite tunes during flights? Well, the Indian government has some news for you. In a recent development, the Centre has issued a warning to passengers, stating that playing loud music without earphones on a plane could result in penal action if deemed disruptive. But here's where it gets controversial... While the government has not introduced a new law specifically targeting loud music, it has clarified that such conduct can attract action if it interferes with safety or causes discomfort to crew and passengers. So, the next time you're on a flight and feel the urge to blast your favorite song, remember that it might be best to keep the volume down and use earphones. After all, the last thing you want is to be removed from the flight or face penalties for unruly behavior. And this is the part most people miss... The advisory also clarifies that soft music played by airlines, such as instrumental tunes during boarding and disembarkation or content provided through in-flight entertainment systems, is not affected by this advisory. It is specifically personal use of mobile devices or speakers at high volume without earphones that can be treated as disorderly conduct. So, the next time you're on a flight and feel the urge to jam out, remember to keep it quiet and use earphones. Your fellow passengers will thank you!
