A circular has recently been issued by the aircraft regulatory body DGCA. This can help in making basic airfare affordable. Let us tell you that continuous steps are being taken by the aviation regulator to make flight fares cheaper.
In the circular issued by DGCA, it was said that charges for many facilities are included in the airfare. Based on feedback, we have learned that many times these facilities are not required by passengers. In such a situation, if these charges are removed then it will help in making the journey economical. These services should be as per the wish of the passenger (Opt-in/out).
What is opt-in/out?
Whenever you travel by flight, many types of services are provided to you and a large number of passengers do not require them. In such a situation, by choosing opt-in/out, you can add or subtract those services as per your wish.
By reducing which services will DGCA make fares affordable?
