Jet Airways has finally buckled under pressure from travel agents and online portals who had stopped selling Jet tickets as a protest against the abolition of the 5 per cent commission to agents.
The airline has now agreed to pay 3 per cent commission on gross fare (defined as basic fare plus fuel surcharge) of domestic and international tickets sold in India.
In a statement, released on Monday, Jet said that decision had been arrived at after a 'constructive and intensive dialogue with the Travel Agency Associations to find solutions acceptable to the airline and the partners in the travel trade.'
The airline said that the commission scheme will come into effect immediately and will replace the transaction fee model recently introduced.
JetLite, however, will continue with the practice of transaction fee model consistent with the practice adopted by the other Low Cost Carriers (LCCs).
