Air India to compensate Rs 50,000 for loss of bag after 16 years
The Maharashtra State Commission has asked Air India to compensate Mr Rajesh Lobo,  who lost his bag on his visit to a relative in London in 1998. The court held “Considering that almost 16 years have passed, since the claim first arose, we award a global compensation of Rs 50,000, including interest and costs, to the complainant.”
Though, during the pendency of the appeal, New India Insurance Company, which had insured the complainant, paid Mr Lobo Rs 61,590, equivalent to $1,000, as compensation in October 2013, which couldn’t be paid initially due to failure of the Air India to issue a certificate confirming loss of baggage, which was already insured.

Relying on a national consumer commission order, a consumer forum has observed that when a customer has cancelled a ticket much prior to the scheduled flight date and claims a refund, a refusal to make the refund is strongly deprecated.
The forum directed Air France and ticketing agents Benzyl Tours & Travels and Rashmika Travels Consultants to pay a man from Chembur a refund of Rs 1.33 lakh after his infant grandson’s pneumonia forced him to cancel three Atlanta-Chennai return tickets booked
for his son and his family in 2007.
The complainant, V Vishwanathan, will also receive Rs 1 lakh in compensation.
