Deportees & inadmissible Passenger / Refusal to Transport

It is the responsibility of the passenger to clear all the government rules and regulations, in case of failure to clear the required formalities, the carrier will refuse to carry the passenger. Sometimes in certain conditions a passenger takes a flight but is refused to enter the country. If he/she is not holding visa or the visa is not valid, or he/she is unable to clear the immigration formalities of the country or in certain grounds, the country refuses entry, the passenger is known as deportee. Deported passengers will be sent back to where he came in from.
* Any charges incurred by the carrier in connection with the passenger's deportation will be collected from the passenger, that is to transport him back to the original point.
* The carrier that participated in carriage to the country of deportation must provide transportation to the extent they participated in the inbound transportation.
* If the passenger is holding a return ticket, the cost of the return transportation will be recovered. The deporting carrier will withdraw any unused coupons of the passenger's ticket and their values will be recalculated and will be adjusted to the amount to be paid to the new ticket.
* If the passenger is not holding a return ticket, the outbound carrier will ticket the passenger and inform all connection carriers. It is the responsibility of the delivering carrier to collect any dues and unpaid money from the passenger.
* If the delivering carrier is unable to collect any dues, the cost of the outbound journey and any other expenses will be prorated amongst all carriers that participated in the inbound journey.
