New Delhi: The implementation of lower fee structure for excess checked-in baggage carried by fliers has been deferred to July 1 as airlines have sought more time to upgrade their system.
The reduced rates, which were to become effective from June 15, will now come into force from July 1, a senior DGCA official said.
On Saturday, the government had announced a rate of Rs 100 per additional kilogram of checked-in baggage up to a certain level from the existing charges of Rs 300 per kg.
"Due to system integration problem and software updation by third party as expressed by airlines, the Air Transport Circular 02 of 2016 on unbundling of services addressing the issue of checked-in baggage rate between 15-20 kgs will now be effective from July 1, 2016," the official said.
