A.C.T. stands for Aircraft Crew and Transportation. It is a policy that American Airlines uses to ban unruly passengers from flights.
The abbreviation A.C.T. stands for American Airlines’ policy of banning unruly passengers.

Three weeks ago, one of the most well publicized American Airlines incidents – among many – occurred. Before storming out and returning to pour more insults, a passenger attacked a staff and gate D23 itself.

The length of time it took for authorities to arrive was the most surprising aspect of the event. The remainder of the tale remained unknown to me. It seems that this customer traveled to London — on American Airlines, as discussed during an American Airlines internal question and answer session with flight attendants last week, a tape of which was seen by View From The Wing.
“Please make sure that customer has been banned,” said airline President Robert Isom, “if the event is as-described.” That’ll be taken care of.” It’s a little late, and other executives admitted that law enforcement was sluggish to react, catching up with the traveler only at baggage claim.
Vice President of Inflight Brady Byrnes, on the other hand, went on to outline the airline’s several procedures for banning people. To begin with, there are two separate lists of prohibited passengers.
- Compliance with the mask. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask will be barred from travelling with the airline until the mask restriction is removed. They may refuse to comply with airline and government mask regulations, but they may otherwise be calm.
- Misconduct. “Physical threats, touching, and name-calling are all examples of misconduct.”
When a flight attendant inquired about a customer who had been reported as being disruptive, he was informed that the person would not be permitted to travel, yet they proceeded on their American Airlines trip nonetheless.
“The number one thing we want the flight attendants to do is fill out a SIRS report,” Byrnes said. Why? That is what sets off the whole corporate security investigative process.” Previously, the airline did not follow up with flight attendants who completed a report, but that is changing now. “Each flight attendant who fills out a SIRS complaint owing to misbehavior will now get ongoing updates up to and through the conclusion of the investigative process,” according to the company.
The number of individuals on ‘do not fly’ lists has increased “multiple-folds above where [American Airlines] was in 2019,” according to the carrier.
Byrnes advised flight attendants to remember the abbreviation A.C.T. while filling out a passenger report.
- Information that is correct
- It must be verified by another crew member (for legal reasons, “to guarantee that when we place someone on the ‘do not fly’ list, it stays, and there is no legal challenge”)
- Timely: the quicker the report is entered into the system, the faster corporate security can investigate, and the faster a passenger may be denied boarding.
The airline’s new Vice President of Safety, Bobbi Wells, repeated the airline’s lobbying of the FAA and airports to stop selling alcohol “to go.”
