New Delhi, Mar 18: The government on Wednesday said airlines have been asked not to levy additional charges for 60 per cent of seats in a domestic flight from passengers.
\nBesides, airlines have been asked to ensure that those travelling on the same PNR are seated together in a flight as part of the civil aviation ministry\u2019s efforts to strengthen passenger facilitation.
\nAnnouncing the steps on Wednesday, the ministry said the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has asked airlines to make sure that at least 60 per cent of seats on any flight are allocated free of charge to ensure fair access.
\nAt present, 20 per cent of the seats can be booked free of charge while the rest is paid, according to an airline official.
\n\u201cPassengers travelling on the same PNR are to be seated together, preferably in adjacent seats,\u201d the ministry said in a release.
\nThese directions are applicable for domestic flights, an official said.<\/p>\n
