Kids below 12 years to get seat next to parents/guardian in flights, mandates DGCA
আজকাল | ২৪ এপ্রিল ২০২৪
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday (April 23) has made it compulsory for airlines to allocate seats for children up to 12 years with at least one parent or guardian without the necessity to pay extra charges if traveling on the same PNR. “Airlines shall ensure that children up to the age of 12 years are allocated seats with at least one of their parents/guardians, who are travelling on the same PNR and a record of the same shall be maintained," DGCA said in a statement.The development came into prominence after several passengers complained that children were not seated with their parents, which prompted the regulator to issue the advisory.
