Jets grounding, yet flyers pay heavily for cancelling tickets

While the government has allowed Jet to cancel any number of flights with impunity, if a passenger decides to cancel a ticket given Jet’s unpredictability, the airline will charge them a steep cancellation fee that can go up to Rs 4,600 for an economy-class ticket. Last month, Jet hiked its cancellation fee. At present, Jet Airways operates about 120 daily flights, which is about one-sixth the number of flights it operated at its peak, say industry sources.
