Don't cancel tickets booked with old notes: Govt to airlines

Government has directed airlines to ensure tickets issued using the now-withdrawn Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes directly from counters at airports are "non-refundable" following an unusual surge in such bookings since the high-value currencies were demonetised two days ago.

The government's directive to airline operators came amid concerns that unscrupulous elements could be using air ticket booking as a means to convert their unaccounted cash into legal transactions by cancelling the bookings later and take back the refund.

Sources said the directive came from the "top level" in the government.

"We generally see bookings at the airport counters to the tune of Rs 20-25 lakh per day. However, in the last 48 hours, it has risen significantly to around Rs 1 crore, which is almost a four-fold jump," no-frills airline SpiceJet's spokesperson Ajay Jasra told PTI.

In a tweet, full-service carrier Vistara said "tickets sold at airport ticket counters with Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes are strictly non-refundable".
