DGCA pulls up airlines for denying boarding to flyers reporting on time
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Friday pulled up airlines for denying boarding to flyers who have reported for their flights on time. DGCA stated that it has noticed that various airlines have been denying boarding to passengers holding confirmed tickets for a flight, even though they have presented themselves for boarding within the time specified by the airline.
Sources alleged that Indian carriers have been overbooking their flights as COVID-19 cases are receding, and when the number of passengers exceed the number of seats in the aircraft, the airlines do not take them on-board.
