Airline fined for denying travel
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060410/asp/nation/story_6079787.asp?headline=Airline~fined~for~denying~travel
New Delhi (PTI): A consumer court has asked Gulf Air to cough up Rs 26,000
as damages and also refund air fares to two passengers for forcing them to
travel by another airliner despite having valid tickets.
The court rejected the airliners contention that entry was denied because
the passengers did not possess visas of various countries where the plane
stopped during the journey.
As is apparent, the stand taken by the appellant that there was problem of
visa is an afterthought to cover up its deficiency as the complainants had
already undertaken a break journey with the same airliner while going to
London, it said.
At the London airport, complainants Santosh and Kanwar Singh were not
permitted to board the flight. Later, they had to travel in a British
Airways plane by shelling out Rs 64,000 extra.
The consumer forum held Gulf Air guilty of deficiency of service and asked
it to compensate the complainants by paying them the British Airways air
fare and Rs 26,000 as damages.
