New Delhi: llowing the plea of state-owned Air India, the apex consumer commission has reduced the compensation and medical expenses amount to Rs 1.04 lakh to be paid to an elderly woman flier who was injured after falling from a wheelchair provided to her by the airlines staff.
National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) directed the airlines to pay Rs 1,04,672 to 76-year-old Maria Easter D'abreu Noronha while allowing the carrier's appeal filed against the state consumer commission's order.
