The Straits Times|April 28, 2024
Singapore Airlines (SIA) has been ordered to pay two of its passengers 200,000 rupees (S$3,300) plus other costs after they filed a complaint concerning recliner seats on a flight from Hyderabad to Singapore.

Mr Ravi Gupta, director-general of police in India's Telangana state, was travelling with his wife on May 23, 2023, in business class, but found that their seats could not recline electronically.

Mr Gupta said the malfunction caused them inconvenience, and he had to stay awake throughout the almost four-hour flight despite paying 133,500 rupees in total for the plane tickets.

He made a complaint to the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission-III in Hyderabad, which ordered SIA to return 97,500 rupees to the couple, along with an interest charge of 12 per cent from the date of complaint.
