DGCA warns airlines against offering unserviceable seats to passengers
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has warned all airlines in India against offering unserviceable seats to passengers on their domestic and international flights. "This practice is not only causing inconvenience to the travellers but also inviting a serious safety concern," the regulator said.
