From July 1, passengers travelling by Air India and Air India Express from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) would face stricter rules on hand baggage.
The free allowance for hand luggage would be restricted to eight kg on Air India and seven kg on Air India Express, inclusive of duty free items.
If the baggage weighs more than the free allowance, a fee of 60 Dirhams ($16) per excess kilo would be charged at the gate.
So far, UAE passengers flying on India`s national carrier and its budget airline have enjoyed the luxury of carrying duty free items beyond the free allowance of hand baggage.
