Consumer court orders airline to pay compensation for last-minute cancellation - Litigation - 2 min read Consumer court orders airline to pay compensation for last-minute cancellation The complainant, a scientific officer with the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, had booked group tickets for a Goa to Chandigarh flight of the for December 26, 2019. Mumbai, Cancelling a flight and later claiming that it was 'rescheduled' while blaming passengers for a 'no-show' amounts to "unfair trade practise', a consumer court has said, directing now-defunct Go Airlines to pay compensation. In an order passed last month, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directed the airline (subsequently rebranded as Go First) to refund Rs 63,000 to a passenger and also pay him a compensation. The complainant, a scientific officer with the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, had booked group tickets for a Goa to Chandigarh flight of the for December 26, 2019. As per his complaint, just three hours before departure he received an SMS and email stating that the flight had been cancelled, and offering him a choice between a full refund or rescheduling. The complainant, who had to reach Chandigarh urgently, booked another flight, shelling out Rs 97,566, nearly 50 per cent more than what he had paid for the Go Airlines ticket. But when he sought the promised refund, Go Airlines claimed that the flight had been "rescheduled" and not cancelled, and labeled the passengers as "no-shows." It refused a cash refund, offering only a restrictive "credit shell", the complainant stated. The airline, in its reply before the commission, cited Directorate General of Civil Aviation rules to contend that it was not liable to pay compensation for cancellations or delays caused by 'force majeure' events or circumstances beyond its control.
