1 lakh e-mails to Singapore PM, say travel agent
associations
Mumbai, Mar 29 : Travel agents will send one lakh emails to the
Singapore Prime Minister on April 1 as part of a campaign to
protest against Singapore Airlines’ failure in reinstating the
agency commission.
Indian travel agents launch ‘operation-e’ campaign on April 1
and plans to flood the e-mail box of the Singapore Prime Minister
with one lakh e-mails to draw his attention towards the issue.
“One lakh e-mails will be sent to the Singapore Prime Minister,
Lee Hsien Loong, by all IATA travel agencies
on April 1. And this is not going to be an April Fool joke. We want
to make the Prime Minister aware of the issue as well as seek his
intervention in resolving the issue,” IATA
Agents Associates of India (IAAI) President Biji Eapen told
PTI here.
“We have made every effort to make Singapore Airlines understand
the issue in perspective and restore the agency commission like
domestic air-carriers have done, but to no avail, hence the
operation-e,” Eapen said.
In addition to one lakh e-mails to the Singapore Prime Minister,
“All IATA travel agencies will be sending
5,000 e-mails every day to the Indian operations heads of all the
14 overseas air-carriers operating in India, who have resorted to
zero per cent commission,” he said. (MORE)
