Desi fliers may enjoy new rights soon

Mumbai: In the near future, air passengers from India may find themselves armed with rights on the lines of the European Union norms, which force airlines to pay compensation to travellers affected by delays, over bookings or cancellations.
The Air Passengers' Association of India (APAI) has drafted guidelines to provide passengers with legal rights and will soon push for its legislation.
"The matter will be taken to the consumer affairs ministry and the parliament so that it is made into a law with enough teeth to enable them to fight for their rights," said D Sudhakara Reddy, president of APAI. He added that the final draft will be ready by April end.
