Airlines “shall not” refuse to fly a person with disability and take a doctor’s opinion, said India’s aviation on Friday in amended rules issued almost a week after it fined low-cost carrier IndiGo Rs 5 lakh for not allowing a boy with special needs to board a flight from Ranchi.
An airline that regards a specially abled passenger’s health must consult a doctor at the airport and take an “appropriate call” on boarding, said on Friday the draft rules issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
