Made error in name while booking air ticket? Revised DGCA rules may save you money

In a significant move to enhance passenger rights, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has announced revised guidelines that will benefit travelers who make errors in their names while booking air tickets. According to the new rules, airlines are prohibited from imposing additional charges for name corrections if the request is made within 24 hours of the booking. This directive aims to alleviate the financial burden on passengers, who often face hefty fees for what can be a minor clerical mistake. By streamlining the correction process, the DGCA seeks to promote transparency and improve customer satisfaction in the aviation sector. Airlines are expected to comply with these regulations promptly, ensuring that travelers can rectify their bookings without incurring extra costs. This initiative reflects the ongoing efforts by the DGCA to protect consumer rights and enhance the overall travel experience for air passengers in India.
