On board, where must a deportee be seated?

• A. 32 ABC
• B. 32 DEF
• C. 12 A
• D. 14 B

Answer: (B)

Deportees must be kept under close supervision and kept separate from the general passenger area so crew can monitor and control the situation easily. The best seating is a three-seat block in the middle of the cabin on one side, close enough for the escort to maintain oversight and access while staying away from other passengers, galleys, and toilets. This position gives the crew clear sightlines and quick access to the detainee if a disturbance occurs, while not hampering the safety of the rest of the cabin. Placing the deportee nearer to front or rear sections, or in a location with more interaction with other passengers or with restricted access to the aisle, makes monitoring harder and is less secure.
