Centre to talk ticket refund with airlines

The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre and the airline companies to discuss modalities for full refund of tickets for domestic and international flights which were cancelled following the Covid-19 lockdown.

A bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, S K Kaul and M R Shah asked the Centre to take a stand on the issue and work out ways for full refund. A plea was also raised that airlines across the world are facing tough time due to the coronavirus pandemic and they too be heard as parties to the plea filed by one NGO, ‘Pravasi Legal Cell'.
