Consumer Commissions Award Compensation for Airline Service Failures in Two Cases
Two consumers received compensation from district consumer commissions for airline service issues. A Chandigarh resident was awarded Rs 90,000 after Air India and Air Canada failed to provide a pre-requested vegan meal and delayed her baggage on international flights. Separately, an Army officer was granted Rs 1.12 lakh after IndiGo cancelled his Brussels-Chandigarh flight days before departure, causing last-minute travel expenses due to visa constraints. Both cases highlight consumer grievances over airline service lapses and compensation rulings.
