Children in aircrafts to get a seat with their parents, says DGCA guideline

In a press release issued on Tuesday, April 23, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) stated that airlines must provide seats to children under the age of 12 "with at least one of their parents/guardians who are traveling on the same PNR."

"Airlines shall ensure that children up to the age of 12 years are allocated seats with at least one of their parents/guardians, who are traveling on the same PNR and shall maintain a record of the same," the DGCA stated. 

After a number of passengers complained that children were not seated with their parents, the regulator issued the advisory, revising its previous recommendations. The Common Aeronautics authority additionally allowed charges for administrations, for example, zero stuff, particular seating, feasts, drinks, carriage of instruments, the assertion noted.
