New Delhi: AirAsia India’s plan to charge a fee for all check-in baggage has been red flagged by the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
The DGCA, on Tuesday, asked the airline to withdraw a number of proposed charges, including the fee on check-in baggage, as these were introduced without informing the aviation regulator, The Indian Express reported.
“We have asked the airline to withdraw charges for baggage and other services which were introduced without informing us,” the report quoted an unnamed senior DGCA official as saying.
The official added that the airline representatives has also been summoned for a meeting on the issue.
While airlines in India have been allowed to unbundle services (charge for services), they have to inform the regulator before they introduce any such charge.
