Covid-19: SC notice to Centre, airlines in plea for full refund of cancelled flight tickets
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre to respond to a plea seeking directions to airlines for full refund of tickets of flights cancelled due to covid-19 and the ensuing lockdown.
An apex court bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan asked the Centre and the airlines to file a reply within three weeks.
The bench also proposed that airlines provide a credit shell with a two-year validity against flight bookings that were cancelled during the lockdown.
“Why should credit be limited to a short period or for the same route?” the bench asked.
