Air India Complaints & Reviews

Our flight for april 17 from delhi to rome was cancelled by air india (Not by us) on march 8th - before the lockdown. We have tried to contact ai via call centre many times (They just hang up) and by email with no progress towards a refund made. I know things are busy but 3 months with no resolution in sight?!?? Ludicrous. Our bookings are [protected] and [protected].

My flight was 7:45 at gate no. 29b all customer are waiting but their is no one on gate. This is not a airindian service i was trying lot of time on this flight but this time i didn't what is happening. If flight is delay no problem at you can send the person on gate and update the customer. But no is on gate.

I booked air tickets through air india for onward journey from toronto to delhi and delhi to chennai on 12th april and 13th april respectively. And return journey from chennai to delhi and delhi to toronto on 7th sep. And 8th september 2020 respectively.
Due to covid-19 pandemic, govt. Of india imposed the first phase of the lockdown in the country in view of the coronavirus outbreak from march 25 to april 14.
On april 16, the ministry of civil aviation stated that travellers can ask airlines for full refunds if the bookings were done during the first phase of the lockdown (March 25 to april 14). Though my travel date was during the lockdown period since i booked my ticket on feb 12th, 2020 air india charged a huge amount ₹ 57, 225 ($1050 cad) as cancellation fee. When requested for confirmation email stating the cancellation fee details for me to claim my travel insurance air india refused to send any confirmation email. Due to no proof of cancellation my travel agency rejected my claim. After sending so many emails, online chats and calling air india helpdesk waiting for hrs on queue all efforts to get a confirmation email went on vain. It's totally unfair to deduct a huge amount as cancellation fee which was not my call and due to domestic and international commercial passenger flight operations been suspended during the lockdown.

I have cancle my ticket due to covid 19 30 days ago but yet i didn't get my refund.
Please refund my full fare amount as soon as possible

Requesting to cancel and refund because air india did not run flights and in future we do not intend to travel

I have booked these tickets before covid 19 lockdown in february.

As we were going there to attend a marriage ceremony.

But we cannot attend the marriage due to lockdown.

Pls send the refund of the flight tickets as the amount is very big 12, 000.

Dear sir/ madam,

As we know, we are passing through a difficult period due to outbreak of covid 19 in our country. Since, lockdown announced by government of india (Goi) from 23rd march, 2020, air travel has been stopped and the flights are cancelled from then onward

This is to inform you that, i have booked air india flight tickets in february, 2020 to travel from hyderabad to durgapur, west bengal (Pnr no: zc7tl on 18th april 2020) and return ticket along with co passenger (My mother) from durgapur to hyderabad (Pnr no: jg6hz on 24th april, 2020). Unfortunately the flights were cancelled due to lock down rules imposed by ministry of home affairs.

On 17th april, 2020 i mailed to air india team to refund the full amount of flights tickets (As per press release from air india, we will be eligible for full refund - document attached), but there was no fruitful reply from them. The chain mails continued for more than a month and i am fade up with assistance provided by ecommerce team of air india ltd for initiating the refund process of my flight tickets. We are in lockdown 4 where flights become operational and relaxations are given for working in offices, still my case was not process by them.

My last mail to them was on 23rd may, 2020 where i sincerely begged for refund of the full amount of flight tickets. I can understand the situation of air india but how long i have to wait for refund, it is my hard earned money which i used to purchase for the air travel. They tested all my patience but nothing happened

Currently, my last option to kindly request to take up the complaint for full refund of my air tickets booked for the cancelled air india flights.

Awaiting a positive response

Thanking you and with best regards

I booked the air india flight tickets from delhi - narita (Tokyo) last year from paytm for the travel period 27th march - 5th april, but due to lockdown in india, all flights were cancelled during this period. Now, i am following up with air india/paytm for the refund but none is them is responding properly.

I talked to air india agent on 23rd march regarding the refund and he promised me that i will get the full refund with next 15-20 days and they sent the remark to paytm regarding that. But now air india is denying for full refund. They are saying me to reschedule which is not possible as i am not sure of any future trip to japan.

Please find the details below:

I tried to book a flight ticket from air india website on 17th february, 2020. The ticket was cancelled due to a glitch in the airindia.in website. The ticket was a round trip from malpensa (Mxp) to kochi (Cok) departure date 12th march 2020 and return 23rd march 2020. I haven't received any details of the ticket from air india. So when i called the customer service it was informed that the ticket was cancelled and the cancelled pnr is: ysfvm. 485.22 euros was debited from the credit card. Our bank has confirmed many times that the transaction was executed properly on 17/02/2020 to airindia.in merchant and has been successfully registered with the merchant account on 19/02/2020. So the money is with air india and refund has not been given even after 3 months now.

I tried to book an international flight ticket on air india website on 17th february 2020. Payment was done and no ticket or ticket details was generated. When i called the customer care center they given a pnr number against that transaction. My bank has confirmed that the transaction has been executed properly and the money has been registered with the merchant on 19th february 2020. I have been trying to raise this complaint through air india ecommerce, but unfortunately they told it was an error while transacting through their website and their account was not credited, and the debited money will be refunded in 6-7 days by the bank. But it has been 3 months now, i haven't received any refund.

We booked 6 tickets through agents with air india from delhi to bangkok for my brother wedding. Due to covid india was lock down from 25th march while our ticket was 26th march. Air india did not operate too so no one can travel. Ministry of civil aviation india have announce that all airlines should refund from period 25th march 2020 to 3rd may 2020, even air india announce on their web page.

When i contact our agent they said air india refuse to refund because our ticket was not issue in india it was issue in thailand. Does it make sense? Ticket issue is anywhere but traveling from same airlines no? And how will we travel if it's lock down?

Than i called air india in india and they told me no can't refund because our booking date which we booked is 14th december 2019, book date should also be same as travel date. What is this new story?
They will refund those who booked during crisis? We booked few months before crisis even don't know something like this will happen but they will not refund.
Very strange and brainless decision air india is making, hope you can help me as 95, 000 rs is not less for medium class family.

Dear sir,

Anyway my future trip plan is cancelled for situation covid-19. I need full refund and air india is taking advantage of this current situation and harassing the customers by holding the amount with them.
