Go Air — Cancellation of Flight

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra

I am a 65 year old retired government employee. Me and wife had booked a ticket (flight no G8 - 385/542) from Mumbai in Goa Air on 22 March 2015, for our travel on 28th October, 2015 for a total ticket price of Rs. 8868 as part of their promotional offer. The booking was made through their website. However, earlier today, I received an email from the them stating the following: "Your flight G8-385/542 from Mumbai to Kolkata on 28th Oct'15 is CANCELLED due to issues beyond our control. If our valued Smart Fliers wish to avail the option of FULL REFUND or FREE REBOOKING we request you to call us on our number [protected]/[protected], upto 2 Hours Prior to departure" This is absolutely incorrect and unfair on their part. I missed out on lucrative fare from other airlines due to this offer. Now when I try to book other flights, during the period, I find the same more expensive. Who is going to compensate me for such loss? The premium that I now have to pay would be a substantial amount for a retired person like me. Please help.
