The minister of state for civil aviation, KC Venugopal today informed Rajya Sabha that Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has received complaints from some domestic airlines in March 2012, that certain on-line travel portals were selling airline tickets under opaque/bargain fare wherein the identity of the airline and flight details were not being displayed upfront.
Acting upon the complaints, DGCA had stepped in and issued a Public Notice directing the airlines to immediately withdraw participation in any such scheme where the complete information about the carrier is not revealed upfront.
