NEW DELHI: The Air Passengers' Association of India (APAI) has lambasted the directorate general of civil aviation's (DGCA) move to allow airlines to unbundle services, which means carriers can now put a separate price tag on services like selecting all seats in an aircraft.
The DGCA had three years back ruled that airlines can only charge pre-selection fees for 25% of seats. The idea was to ensure that families or groups travelling together do not per force have to pay additional seat selection charges to be seated together. But airlines petitioned the DGCA recently and the regulator immediately over-turned the earlier decision.
