Till the end of February 2019, Jet Airways and Vistara under mutual agreement used to honour each other’s tickets issued to passengers in case of cancellation of one of the companies’ flights. So a flier of Jet Airways could travel in Vistara and vice versa without worrying about the hassles in case of cancellation of the flight. Now the agreement doesn’t exist and fliers of Jet Airways are going through nightmares in the wake of mass cancellations and grounding of aircrafts.
Though even an agreement between the two might not have salvaged a grave situation like this, yet a similar treaty among all airlines might work in favour of fliers.
In fact, Indian operators have such tie-ups with international airlines but in the domestic circle, airlines don’t accept each others’ tickets on the face value.
A section of aviation experts feels that in western countries many airlines have such agreements to help fliers in times of crises.
“Ministry of Civil Aviation can work in this direction and ask all airlines to think of ways to carry each other’s passengers. This is in the interest of the whole sector as flying will become less unpredictable,” says Subhash Goyal, Chairman, Assocham Tourism & Hospitality Council.
