Mumbai: In what could be a good news for fliers, country's aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is mulling capping cancellation charges levied by airlines below the base airfare.
"We are receiving various suggestions for implementing and one among them is to cap the cancellation charges below the base fare. The guidelines are being worked out," said a senior DGCA official.
None of the airlines was immediately available for comment.
The development comes amid the scores of complaints being received by civil aviation ministry and DGCA, whereby politicians, passengers associations, corporates, and common fliers have complained of the increase in cancellation charges adopted by all the airlines operating in India under a cartel.
There have been instances of passengers not getting any refund on cancellation of tickets as there are various tax components including airport tax.
