Position Paper IFALPA: Transport of Passengers Subject to Judicial or Administrative Proceedings
It is not unusual for aircraft Operators to have to transport deportees, inadmissible persons, or persons in lawful custody. IFALPA is not opposed to this practice, however, strict guidelines should be followed to ensure that the safety and security of the ight are not compromised. In any case, the nal decision on accepting such passengers and any escort onboard should rest with the pilot-in- command.
Position Paper IFALPA: Passenger Flights Carrying Deportees
There are necessary and important guidelines that crews should follow when passengers are carried who are not travelling of their own volition. Such flights often present challenging scenarios and there may be political and humanitarian viewpoints to be considered. Deportations are the result of a state judicial or administrative process. It is important to understand that Operators, Aircraft Commanders, and their crew are not involved in these decisions, nor can they be held responsible for deportees after their disembarkation at destination.
Position Paper IFALPA: Carriage of Persons on All-Cargo Aircraft
Position Paper IFALPA : It has come to the Federation’s attention that Cargo Aircraft Only (CAO) provisions are being used to prevent individuals from traveling on cargo aircraft when such aircraft carry Dangerous Goods (DG) not allowed on passenger aircraft. The CAO provisions allow types and quantities of DG on all-cargo aircraft because it was believed pilots of those aircraft had specific means of responding to DG incidents that are not normally available to passenger aircraft pilots.
