The French Civil Aviation Authority has been authorized by decree to impose fines of €10,000 on travelers who engage in disruptive behavior or refuse to comply with crew orders.

Repeat offenses will be penalized with a €20,000 fine, and in extreme cases, authorities may ban travelers from flying for up to four years.

The measure was adopted to curb inappropriate behavior on aircraft, which is considered “a growing threat to passengers and flight crew.”

Among the grounds for fines are refusing to turn off cell phones during flights when cabin crew have prohibited their use for the entire flight or during any phase thereof; obstructing “the performance of safety duties by flight crew”; and, finally, “refusal to comply with safety instructions given by flight personnel.”

The decree applies to flights operated by airlines licensed in France. “The system implements a specific database that will be managed by the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC), with the function of centralizing reports of disruptive behavior submitted by French airlines.”

It is important to clarify that “these administrative sanctions are in addition to the possibility of initiating criminal proceedings for the most serious offenses, which can carry prison sentences of up to five years and fines of €75,000.”

European Union interior ministers decided to postpone the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) until the last quarter of 2026.

This means that citizens of visa-exempt countries will continue to enter the continent without prior authorization until 2026.

It is important to remember that, eventually, “the ETIAS will be mandatory, will cost €7 per application, and will be valid for three years. During this period, multiple stays of up to 90 days in Europe will be permitted.”

This update was expected to take effect this year. However, the European Union expects its implementation by the last quarter of 2026.

ETIAS “will be a mandatory entry requirement for citizens traveling to Europe” from Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

To apply for ETIAS, citizens must visit the official European Union website, where they will be asked to fill out forms with information such as their first and last name, passport number, issue and expiration dates, and contact information, including a valid email address. Travel details and information on health and criminal records will also be displayed.

It’s important to know that the ETIAS is valid only for travel to any country in the Schengen Area for tourism, transit, and business purposes. “Given that it authorizes unlimited entry for up to 90 days, it cannot be used for work or long-term studies.”
