Indigo Will Refund 100% Money For Cancellation Charges

Indigo Airlines has assured that they will process all refunds of all cancelled tickets due to lockdown, and the deadline is January 31st, 2021.

Infact, Rs 1000 crore of refund has already been processed by Indigo Airlines as of now.

DGCA or Directorate General of Civil Aviation has already ordered full refund of all cancelled tickets in the month of October.

Air India Will Waive Off No Show Charges

Air India’s tweet stated: “For passengers who are unable to reach the Airport due to possible disturbance on 8th Dec’20, no-show charges will be waived and one free date change allowed for those with confirmed tickets for travel on 8th Dec’20 from any Indian Airport.”
