The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has asked airlines to ensure that all children below 12 years of age be allotted seats next to at least one of the parents in case of the same PNR.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the aviation regulator said, “Airlines shall ensure that children up to the age of 12 years is allocated seats with atleast one of their parents/guardians, who are travelling on the same PNR and a record of the same shall be maintained.”
This, the DGCA said, was done in view of the various instances that came to their notice wherein children below the age of 12 years were not seated along with their parent/guardian.
