The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Ministry of Civil Aviation and airlines to sit together and work on modalities for ways to refund the money of passengers for cancellation of their tickets during the COVID-19 lockdown.
A bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan also sought a response from the Ministry of Civil Aviation and airlines on a batch of petitions seeking a complete refund of the money spent by people on booking airline tickets cancelled during the lockdown.
The bench told the Central government to take a stand and asked the ministry and airlines to discuss the modalities and apprise the court in three weeks.
During the hearing, SpiceJet told the court that nowhere in the world are airlines refunding the complete fare. "We would like to sit with the Ministry of Civil Aviation and come up with a solution," it told the top court.
The top court suggested that a credit note by airlines must have a life of at least two years and for any route if that's the way out.
The petitions filed in the apex court have urged the court to declare the alleged action of airlines of not refunding the entire value of the cancelled air tickets as violative of the civil aviation requirement issued by the authority.
