India's low-cost budget airline IndiGo will charge Rs 2,250 from its passengers for cancelling domestic flight tickets. The revised cancellation charge will be applicable from Friday, April 1, 2016.
Fee charged for cancelling tickets two hours prior to departure will cost Rs 2,250, Press Trust of India quoted the airline as saying. According to the budget carrier's website, a passenger would not get any refund for cancelling a domestic ticket two hours before the scheduled departure.
The airline had reportedly revised its charges last month, charging Rs 1,900 for tickets cancelled more than seven days prior to scheduled departure and Rs 2,250 for tickets cancelled two hours to seven days before departure time.
A company spokesperson declined to comment on the issue comment.
