Mumbai: Travel agents across the country will 'go slow' on selling airline tickets of most Indian carriers from Monday. This is intended to protest against the airlines' policy of not paying commission to agents on transaction of tickets. The agents are likely to suspend booking on certain airlines. The decision was taken by agents individually and not the associations.
Currently, only full-service carrier Jet Airways pays agents a commission of one percent. Other airlines have adopted a zero commission policy. Agents charge passengers over and above the ticket fare. They, however, demand that airlines, including Jet Airways, pay them a five-eight percent commission.
