Redressal Mechanisms in Place for Private Airlines in India

February 4, 2023 by Eliza Leave a Comment

The Ministry of Civil Aviation in India has a mechanism for grievance redressal for private airlines through the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System and AirSewa Portal. Passengers who are not satisfied with the resolution provided by the airlines can file an appeal. The airlines are required to appoint a nodal officer and an appellate authority and display their contact information on their websites. In case of ticket purchase through a travel agent or portal, the airlines are responsible for the refund process. There is no current proposal to set up a tribunal to address non-redressal of passenger complaints.
