Good news for air travellers! In its new guidelines for airlines, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has asked airlines to provide passengers with the option to opt-out or opt-in certain services, which impact the base fare. This means that flyers in India can now pick and choose services offered by operators and save money on those they do not require.
Unbundling of services
The civil aviation watchdog has observed that passengers are sometimes required to pay for services that they do not need. In such cases, unbundling these services will allow passengers to select only the services that are relevant to them. This will reduce their base fare and make air travel more affordable for them.
