Passenger planes will be equipped with video surveillance devices

On demand Rospotrebnadzor, aircraft of airlines engaged in passenger transportation must be equipped with video cameras and additional equipment for data transmission during flight. This is necessary for full control on board, prevention and elimination of critical situations.

However, according to experts, at least most of the companies will not be able to fulfill this condition. To transmit video while the aircraft is moving at high altitude, high-tech equipment is required, which costs significant funds. Only large airlines can afford it, but they are likely to resist the decision of Rospotrebnadzor. The main argument is that the duty to check passengers and baggage lies with airport staff, who must detain those who pose a potential danger.
