Indian travel consultants plead with new PM for airline commission

Kolkata: IATA Agents Association of India (IAAI) is calling on the country's new prime minister Narendra Modi to step in and reinstate the five per cent airline commission.
 The association submitted a memorandum in late May.
 Despite a ruling by the Ministry of Civil Aviation ordering airlines to pay travel consultants commission last year  airlines have resisted compliance.
 Other trade associations such as the Travel Agents Association of India and the Travel Agents Federation of India have also approached airlines, resulting in a few carriers granting transaction fees of up to two per cent.
