DGCA holds meet of foreign airlines, travel agents
8th Sep, 09, The Pioneer
The tussle between foreign airlines operating in the country and travel agents over commission payments seems to be coming to a resolution with the DGCA today holding a meeting of their representatives to finalise the government's stand on the issue.
The meeting came in the backdrop of a Kerala High Court directive to ensure commissions for the agents from this month-end and the Karnataka High Court wanting the foreign airlines to explain their position regarding the global norms of the issue, including that decided by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
While the airlines have been insisting on the 'zero commission' concept which is now in vogue in most of the western nations, travel agents have been arguing that no commission payment would starve small and medium agencies which are already hit by the economic meltdown and sharp decline in air travel.
