Good news for flyers coming? Govt to examine single 15 kg check-in bag number order

New Delhi: The government assurance on the attention being drawn against restrictions imposed by private airlines on the number of check-in bags for the economy class will certainly bring smiles on the face of frequent flyers. A BJD member today sought the government's intervention in this regard to which the Centre said it would look into the matter.

Anubhav Mohanty raised the issue in the Rajya Sabha during the Question Hour, demanding the government's intervention to direct the airlines to revert to the earlier system of restricting the check-in baggage to 15 kgs, irrespective of the number of pieces.

Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu said, "scheduled domestic airlines put no restriction on the number of the check-in baggages, except Jet Airways," adding that Jet Airways has restricted with effect from July 15, the number of pieces of check-in baggage to one, weighing 15 kg or less.
