Gulf Air Company fined for refusing entry to confirmed ticket holders

New Delhi: A foreign airliner - Gulf Air Company - has been asked by a consumer court here to cough up Rs 26,000 as damages and also refund airfares to two city passengers for forcing them to travel in a separate airliner despite having valid tickets.
The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission headed by Justice J D Kapoor and Member Rumnita Mittal asked the airliner to pay the amount within 45 days to complainants who, on their way to Delhi from London, were denied entry into the GAC plane.
The Commission rejected the airliner's contention that the entry was denied because the passengers did not possess visas of different countries where the plane stopped during the journey. As per the complainants, Santosh and Kanwar Singh purchased confirmed return tickets from the GAC.
