Move aimed at forcing airlines to revoke decision to withdraw 5 per cent commission.

Over 2,500 travel companies, including IATA travel agents and online travel agencies (OTAs) such as Makemytrip, Cleartrip, Yatra and Ezeego, have decided to stop selling Jet Airways tickets from December 4. The move could impact over 85 per cent of the airlines passenger revenues.

This decision was taken today at a meeting of the six associations Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI), Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI), IATA Agents Association of India (IAAI), Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO), Association of Domestic Tour Operators in India (ADTOI) and Enterprising Travel Association of India (ETAA) which cumulatively account for nearly all of the 2,800 IATA agencies, apart from numerous travel portals like Makemytrip and Cleartrip.

The agents have decided not to sell Jet Airways tickets in a bid to compel the airline to pay them 5 per cent commission, which was withdrawn from November 1. Apart from Jet, Air India and Kingfisher have also stopped paying commission to travel agents.

Jet executives could not be contacted for their comments.

According to statistics presented at the meeting, Jet earns revenues of Rs 18.1 crore every day, out of which Rs 16.2 crore is generated by travel agents (online and offline).
