Ministry of Civil Aviation has issued the following directions to Aviation Companies :

1. Minimum 60% of seats on any flight to be allocated free of charge to ensure fair access
2. Passengers travelling on the same PNR to be seated together, preferably in adjacent seats
3. Carriage of sports equipment and musical instruments to be facilitated in a transparent and passenger-friendly manner, subject to applicable safety and operational regulations. Airlines shall also bring out clear, transparent policies for carriage of pets.
4. Strict adherence to passenger rights framework, particularly in cases of delays, cancellations and denied boarding
5. Prominent display of passenger rights across airline websites, mobile applications, booking platforms, and airport counters
6. Clear communication of passenger entitlements in regional languages to ensure wider accessibility and awareness

Just 1 question how a company supposed to make money if 60% of the product is free.

^^ it's not free in that manner. Abhi airliness karti kya hai ki woh additional charges leti hai if you want to select your own seats according to your preference.

Jaise ki  kisi ko front seat or exit seat chahiye toh kisi ko aisle or window. Ab 60% seats mein no extra paisa.

Apart from the rest of the points, I feel that this point is the biggest cash grab of the airline industry. Once I have paid for the fare, I also have to pay to buy that seat? WTF is that supposed to mean anyway? And then window seats will cost more and I end up choosing Aisle and Middle seats.

Back side seats cost zero because the toilet smell is there and take off and landing feels difficult on the body at those points and also because staff keep their bags there.

One more thing I would have liked is an expansion of the Udan Yatri cafe, it is a novel concept which has been started and they need to increase in size, number and menu.

I've lot of problems with this gov but Inki infrastructure spending se koi problem nahi hai, yeh log bhar ke invest kar rahe hai.

Spending should be close to 2-3ish % of gdp, which means 100s of billions every year. Agar yeh speed bani rahi next decade tak toh bahut kuch change hoga, kafi change toh already dikhte hai.

What are the significant changes that you see in India ?
All I see is roads with potholes, broken bridges and statue of unity worth thousands of crores but for what ?
I know it promotes tourism but there's so much more to fix in India.
Government could have spent that money on other real issues like cleaning our sacred rivers like Ganga and others.

These are all for the companies that is operating from India or anyone who wants to land in India? If this is for India then I think the business for aviation will be in trouble, already it is not a profitable business to run airlines now government make it stricter will leave them to opearte from different country that will generate taxes for somewhere else.

Am I seeing it wrong?
