New Delhi: The civil aviation ministry on Friday asked airlines not to put a price tag to all seats in an aircraft and limit it to a few, which could be charged in case a passenger opts for it.
This has come after IndiGo, country's largest carrier in terms of passengers flown, have put a price tag to all seats of its Airbus 320 aircraft, after the government allowed airlines to unbundle services and charge them.
"We have asked the airline to not charge for all seats in an aircraft and identify a few that should be put up for extra charge. We have not set any limit on the number of seats to be charged and asked the airline to decide on it and report within ten days," aviation secretary KN Shrivastava said after a meeting with top airline officials.
The Indian Express had reported on Thursday that the airlines have put a price tag on each seat in, which the civil aviation ministry says was flawed.
