TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Accommodating passengers from its cancelled flights has become harder for Jet Airways as at least two airlines have cancelled their ‘flight interruption manifest (FIM) agreement’ with the airline.
This comes at a time when the cash-strapped airline is cancelling more than 100 flights daily due to grounding of its planes. An FIM is a document issued by an airline as a substitute ticket which allows a passenger to fly by another airline in case the original travel is disrupted by a schedule change, overbooking or cancellation.
In return, the airline reimburses the amount to other carriers on a fortnightly basis at a pre-agreed rate. Sources aware of the development said Air India and Vistara have cancelled the agreement on Friday.
“With immediate effect and till further notice, Jet Airways and JetLite Limited documents, including FIMs, are not to be accepted for travel on Air India flights,” said a notice issued by the airline’s commercial department.
