Air India has allowed waiver of no-show charges and one free reschedule to passengers who could not attend their flights due to the traffic interruption caused by the ongoing farmer’s protest and closing of the borders.
This waiver has come as a relief for passengers who had a scheduled flight out of Delhi-NCR
Air India said in a tweet on Thursday, "Given traffic disruption in NCR region due to closure of Delhi borders, we are allowing no-show waiver & one free reschedule to passengers who couldn't report for their flights.”
The waiver was originally valid for the flights that were scheduled out of Delhi airport only for Thursday, but officials said that the national carrier has extended the relief till Friday.
Borders have been sealed at several places as hundreds of farmers march towards Delhi to enter the city to protest against the recently passed agricultural laws. On Friday, interstate borders were closed.
Huge traffic jams have been reported at many locations as hundreds of commuters faced traffic snarls on the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway on Friday as Delhi Police put up roadblocks at the interstate border to stop farmers from entering the national capital.
