A Delhi commercial court has directed Akasa Air to pay Rs 1.08 crore for cancelling 640 confirmed festive-season seats, calling it a clear breach of contract. The Court held that refunding the advance was not enough and the airline must compensate for the travel agent’s loss of profit.
The Supreme Court stated that fluctuations in airfare and extra charges by private airlines during festive seasons are a matter of serious concern. Additional Solicitor General Anil Kaushik said the government is examining the issue and will respond within four weeks.
