Mumbai: Thousands of passengers who have booked their summer holiday air tickets on Jet Airways are now stressed over the prospect of a ruined holiday and the money they would lose. For, Jet has been cancelling a large number of flights on a daily basis, while it also levies the steepest fee on flyers voluntarily cancelling their tickets.
\nWhile the government has allowed Jet to cancel any number of flights with impunity, if a passenger decides to cancel ticket, given Jet\u2019s unpredictability, the airline will charge them a steep cancellation fee that can go up to Rs 4,600 for an economy-class ticket.
\nLast month, Jet hiked its cancellation fee. At present, Jet Airways operates about 120 daily flights, which is about one-sixth the number of flights it operated at its peak, say industry sources.
\nMost Jet passengers aren\u2019t told whether their flight will be operated or cancelled till the last 72 hours or so. Once Jet cancels the ticket, it is legally bound only to refund the airfare. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
