Earlier, on February 5, it was reported that a group of United Russia deputies is developing a new obligation for airlines - a ban on the seating of parents and children on airplanes.

According to the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family Protection Tatyana Butskaya, now airlines have different ways to solve this issue: some of them "bind" the child's ticket to the parent who first made the reservation, others - to the last one who made it. Moreover, air carriers may interpret joint seating differently - some believe that "if a child and an adult sit across the aisle, then in principle they sit next to each other," the parliamentarian said.
