Consumer Commissions Order IndiGo and Singapore Airlines to Pay Compensation for Service Issues
Two consumer disputes involving airlines resulted in compensation orders. A Chandigarh lawyer was awarded Rs 14,352 by a consumer commission after IndiGo cancelled his flight the night before travel, forcing him to hire a taxi costing Rs 19,500 to reach Jaipur for a court appearance. Separately, Singapore Airlines was ordered to pay Rs 50,000 for failing to provide proper food, including milk for an infant, during a 15-hour Delhi-Melbourne flight. Both rulings addressed service deficiencies and awarded compensation for mental agony and litigation costs.
