DGCA releases new guidelines for ticket pricing
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation fresh orders to separate the fee for other services on flight from the ticket price could reduce the cost and burden on the passengers. Usually, the cost of various services is included in the price of the flight ticket which forces the passenger to shell out bucks even when they do not utilise those services. Basing on the feedback from several passengers, the DGCA has tried to reduce the burden on the passengers by suggesting that the airlines separate the cost of services and make it available under a new sub-head 'opt-in' which can enable the passenger to choose the type of service and bear cost only for that specific thing. Under the "opt-in" method, the passenger will have the facility to bear the cost of only necessary services along with price of the ticket.
