NEW DELHI : The Supreme Court on Monday issued a notice to Ministry of Civil Aviation on plea seeking full refund against the tickets booked for travel during the covid-19 lockdown.
The plea accused airlines of violating aviation ministry’s order. The civil aviation ministry on 16 April issued a memorandum that airlines will have to refund full amount, without imposing cancellation charges, to those who booked tickets during the first phase of lockdown from 25 March to 14 April for travel between 25 March and 3 May.
The ministry had also asked the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to ensure that airlines comply with its directive.
