NEW DELHI: Air India is a one-time free rescheduling offer to its passengers who could not reach Delhi airport on Thursday to catch their flights, due to closure of the capital's border in wake of the farmers' protest march.
Air India said in a tweet: "In view of traffic disruption in NCR region due to closure of Delhi borders, we are allowing no-show waiver and one free reschedule to passengers who couldn't report for their flights. Waiver will be valid for flights scheduled out of Delhi airport only for November 26, 2020."
Security personnel are deployed at Delhi borders to prevent farmers protesting against recent farm laws from marching to the capital.
Comments have been sought from other airlines on whether they have also taken a decision like AI. Their comments are awaited.
India's largest airline, IndiGo, issued a travel advisory on Thursday. "We're anticipating heavy traffic congestion due to road blocks on Punjab-Haryana borders. Please keep enough travel time in hand while travelling to the airport to avoid last minute hassle," IndiGo tweeted.
