The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a show cause notice to Air India, accusing the airline of violating rules regarding compensation to passengers for flight delays. This comes as a repeat instance, with Air India previously fined Rs 10 lakh in June of the previous year for not providing required compensation to passengers denied boarding. The recent notice follows inspections revealing inadequate compensation for delayed flights. DGCA regulations specify compensation for delayed flights, including meals, refreshments, alternate flights, and hotel accommodations. The regulator aims to strengthen passenger rights and ensure airlines comply with global best practices. Air India has not responded to queries on the matter.
