SpiceJet airlines has restored the travel agents’ commission, days after withdrawing it. The airline informed travel agents on Monday it was restoring productivity-linked bonus (PLB) with effect from May 1.

“The decision to withdraw the PLB was taken hoping that (the) civil aviation ministry will come up with a solution for travel agents’ remuneration as guided by the Supreme Court. As there has been no solution till now, SpiceJet has decided to reinstate the withdrawn PLB effective May 1,” the airline said.

“This means the earlier incentive components will continue. After the ministry’s pending decision on transaction fees, SpiceJet would come up with a comprehensive incentive which will be mutually beneficial,” it added.  

SpiceJet had withdrawn the commission which led to protests from travel agents who feared that other airlines too will follow suit.
