Air India withdraws decision to hike fares of stretcher services from Gulf region

Dubai: India's national carrier, Air India, has withdrawn the decision to hike fares of stretches services from the Gulf region, according to senior officials at the airline's UAE offices.

Earlier today, vernacular and other local media outlets reported that the airline has steeply hiked fares for its stretcher services with effect from July 20. As per the revised rates, passengers would've had to pay international stretcher fares based on (International Air Transport Association) IATA YIF fares, the most expensive category, which would've hit passengers in need very hard.

However, an Air India official confirmed to Khaleej Times that the decision has been rescinded for all AI flights from the Gulf region. He said, "There will be no increase in stretcher fares from the Gulf region. We have reverted back to the old policies. The prices will remain the same for the benefit of passengers in need."
