Indian airlines’ gesture to stranded army personnel, civilians

Offer waive-offs, refunds on ticket cancellations

Indian airlines have decided to do their bit to support army personnel and civilians who were stranded at eight airports amidst rising tension between India and Pakistan.

Vistara, Jet Airways, IndiGo and GoAir have decided to offer waive-offs on cancellation charges or full refund to the army personnel. The same facility has been extended to flyers, who were stranded due to closure of Srinagar, Leh, Amritsar and Jammu airports.

Vistara is offering full refund on cancellations for army personnel on any route, while Jet Airways and GoAir are offering unlimited waivers on re-issue/ refund penalties for the Indian Armed Forces.
