Our Bureau

Mumbai, April 16 Emirates and Cathay Pacific said that they continue to give commissions to travel agents in India. “Emirates has always partnered with the travel agent fraternity and has not deprived them of their 5 per cent commission at any given point of time,” said the Dubai-based carrier.

Cathay Pacific, on the other hand, said, “Cathay Pacific Airways does not have a transaction fee module and is still giving a commission to travel agents.”

The airlines which stopped giving agents’ commission from November 1 are KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, North West Airlines, Air France, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Silk Air, Lufthansa German Airlines, Air Canada, Continental Airlines and Japan Airlines.

Austrian Airlines has gone to zero commission from January 1. Airlines that have gone to zero commission from April 1 are Delta Air Lines Inc and British Airways
