I'm not sure I am in favour of a no-fly list, however, flying (unlike other examples in this thread; walking across the street, going to a supermarket etc) is not a basic human need. You (and many others do) do not need to ever fly in your life to live a happy and fulfilled life, without any pressure (you could never visit a supermarket but that's actually much harder; most people will never fly in their lives automatically anyway). For most people it is a minor inconvenience if they could never fly again and a minority will have to find another job. A list like it would have little or no impact on anything basically for by far most people on earth. So the question is, is having the list so beneficial for enough people (who are in these planes where repeat offenders kick up a stink) to go through the trouble of creating one?

Well, if we're doing strict utilitarianism, I don't like you much after this comment, maybe I can find five friends to vote you off airplanes?

That would probably give us more pleasure than you derive utility from your privilege to fly, depriving other people is always satisfying.

Oh your computer? Not a basic need either. Hand it over comrade, there are more socially useful purposes than posting on Hacker News!
