Indian Consumer Commissions Order Airlines to Compensate Passengers for Service Issues
Two consumer commissions in India ruled against airlines in separate cases involving passenger grievances. In one, a Delhi commission ordered an Italian airline to pay over Rs 99,000 after a family missed a connecting flight in Rome due to a short 45-minute layover deemed insufficient. In another, a Punjab commission directed an airline to compensate Rs 1.71 lakh to a passenger whose two checked-in bags went missing on a flight from Australia to India, citing mental harassment and failure to address complaints.
