With the implementation of new standards by the aviation regulator DGCA<\/a><\/strong>, airlines will now reimburse 75% of the ticket expenses to travelers whose domestic flight tickets have been downgraded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the distance covered by the specific aircraft, the refund amount for the downgrading of international access will range from 30 percent to 75 percent of the ticket prices, including taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a senior official at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA),<\/a><\/strong> the new regulations will take effect on February 15th. In response to complaints from passengers that airlines had degraded their tickets reserved for a specific class, the regulator decided to change the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) proposed in December of last year that airlines be required to refund the full cost of such tickets, including taxes, and that impacted passengers be provided with free transportation in the next available class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
