India’s biggest full-service carrier by market share has been facing financial woes for close to six months since it owes money to banks, pilots, vendors and lessors
New Delhi: State-owned Air India has said that it will not accept any passengers that have their tickets cancelled by the cash-strapped Jet Airways, presently undergoing a cash crunch. Airlines generally accommodate passengers when another carrier cancels a flight as a result of various exigencies. The airline of the cancelled flight would also have to pay the other carrier for accommodating passengers.
“With immediate effect and till further notice, Jet Airways (India) Limited and Jet Lite Limited documents (including Flight Interruption Manifest and endorsed/involuntary rerouted/rebooked/exchanged/reissue documents) are not to be accepted for travel on Air India flights,” said an order of Air India dated March 1.
