Consumer Commissions Order Airlines to Compensate Passengers for Service Failures
Two consumer commission rulings addressed airline service deficiencies. In one case, a man was denied boarding on a Delhi-Raipur flight despite holding a boarding pass, allegedly to accommodate a VIP passenger; the airline was ordered to pay Rs 36,144 including compensation. In another, a Chandigarh couple faced flight disruptions due to Dubai floods and were not timely informed, leading to costly last-minute bookings; the airline and booking platform were directed to pay Rs 1.88 lakh. Both commissions emphasized airlines' duty to inform passengers and provide alternatives.
