Mumbai:Not just booking, even cancelling a flight has become costlier. Days after hiking air fares by more than 20 per cent, airlines have increased cancellation charges on domestic flights from Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500.
SpiceJet was the first off the block. In a mail to travel partners, the airline said: “The fee for changes and cancellation has been revised to Rs 1,500 per person, per sector. This is applicable for all domestic bookings, irrespective of origin of sale or travel date. The changes have been updated on our Web site at all applicable places.”
Shortly thereafter, Jet Airways, too, told travel agents that it was raising its cancellation fee from Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500.
“Jet has informed us that the cancellation fee will be increased from September 10. We are yet to receive instructions from other airlines,” said Sharat Dhall, Chief Operating Officer, Yatra.com.
