Indigo Airlines Boarding Pass: The Central Government had given great relief to the people traveling by plane. The Ministry of Civil Aviation had said that airline companies will no longer be able to charge passengers extra for issuance of boarding passes at airport check-in counters. It has been more than a month since this announcement of the government, but despite this, the country’s largest airline Indigo is charging passengers for boarding pass money.
Zee News reporter exposes Indigo
Zee News reporter Jitendra Sharma had to catch an Indigo airline flight from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport to go to Hyderabad. When he reached the airport, the IndiGo employee at the check-in counter asked him for money for the boarding pass. When Jitendra Sharma questioned the IndiGo employee, he told that the boarding pass is charged Rs 200. On this, Jitendra Sharma said that the charge of boarding pass has been refused by the ministry, yet why is it being charged. To this Indigo employee did not give any satisfactory answer.
