Flights were being arranged on a British airline for passengers, most of them of Indian-origin, who have been stranded on the Birmingham-Amritsar route after sudden cancellations from the Austrian airline they were travelling on.
Scores of Indian-origin passengers with valid tickets on the Birmingham-Amritsar flight operated by Comtel were left stranded in the two cities after the company ran into financial trouble, and cancelled flights for this week.
The British aviation authority has now intervened in the matter and agreed to refund the charges the passengers will now pay for the flights being arranged for them.
Comtel Air had to cancel all its flights between Amritsar and Birmingham yesterday when a travel agency in UK did not make its due payments to the company and said it had filed for bankruptcy.
According to a BBC report, flights are being arranged on the British Midland International airline BMI to help passengers return home from India after the collapse of the UK-based travel agency Skyjet.
