New Delhi: Budget passenger carrier SpiceJet on Saturday refuted reports that it has been asked by the regulator to refund bookings made beyond 30 days.
"This is absolutely incorrect and is causing a lot of confusion amongst travel agents and passengers. There has been NO such notification. There is no such requirement," the airline was quoted as saying in a statement.The aviation regulator is said to have cracked the whip on the airline after it said that as part of its cost-cutting initiative it would only operate 22-24 aircraft, down from 35 planes which were in service till two months ago.
