Occasionally, IAC carry blind passengers who travel by air on account of urgency
or other reasons. As a humanitarian measure, it has been decided that 50 percent concession fare
on single journey or single fare for round trip journey will apply for carriage of all blind people
on IAC domestic services only. However, escorts will play the full applicable fares.
Blind Passenger will have to make an application for grant of 50 percent concession
and such application must be accompanied by a certificate from a registered medical practitioner
testifying to the fact that the person is blind and has lost the vision of both eyes. Such certificate
must also carry the registered number of the registered medical practitioner of the state to which
he belongs.
The 50 % concession admissible to blind people cannot be combined with any other
concessional fare allowed by IAC i.e. no other concession will be admissible to the blind passenger.
While the Air Hostess or the Steward will look after the blind passengers not
accompanied by escorts in flights, the Public Relation Officer or the Traffic Officer-in-charge
at the airport will render necessary assistance to such infirm passengers at the airport of departure
and arrival Advance notice of the travel be sent by the station of embarkation.
The above concession will come into force immediately.
