Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of online travel agencies. Online travel agencies generally provide services through websites and applications. China-based Trip.com is an online travel agency that has been operating in many countries in recent years. As with many online travel agencies, there may be customer complaints about the services offered by Trip.com from time to time. The purpose of this study is to determine what types of complaints Trip.com has received regarding the airline tickets it has sold. To this end, comments made on sikayetvar.com between 2022, and 2025, regarding Trip.com were examined. The complaints identified were analysed using content analysis. The data obtained was grouped under themes and presented in tabular form. The research found that 109 different complaints were made about Trip.com, 3.67% of which were resolved, while 96.33% are still awaiting resolution. Within the scope of the research, 8 themes were created: complaints related to tickets, complaints related to information, complaints related to credit cards, complaints related to baggage, complaints related to ticket reservations, complaints related to flight changes, complaints related to customer service, and other complaints. It was found that the most complaints were about the non-refund of ticket cancellation fees and the rejection of cancellation requests. These research results are important in that they reveal the problems experienced by passengers who purchase airline tickets from Trip.com. The research results are expected to contribute to the efforts of Trip.com and other representatives of the industry to resolve these issues.

I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Law from the Faculty of Law at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) in 2009. Following this, I embarked on my professional journey as a Junior Advocate in a Law Office in New Delhi, where I served from June 2009 to August 2010. During this time, I had the privilege of participating in the preparation of various contracts and legal briefs and gaining valuable hands-on experience in the legal field.

Eager to further my legal education, I enrolled in the LL.M. program at the Faculty of Law, AMU, Aligarh, from 2010 to 2012. During my postgraduate studies, I focused my coursework on Comparative Constitutional Law, deepening my knowledge in this specialized area of law.

Subsequently, I embarked on a research endeavor at the Center of Air & Space Law, NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad. As a Ph.D. candidate, I delved into the emerging field of Aerospace Law, specifically addressing the Regulatory Challenges of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Drones). This research allowed me to contribute to the growing understanding of this nascent area within the legal domain.

During my doctoral studies, I was honored to receive the prestigious Assad Kotaite Graduate and Postdoctoral Fellowship Fund in 2017, awarded by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Canada. This fellowship supported and recognized my commitment to pursuing advanced studies in aviation law.

My academic journey continued as I took on the role of an Assistant Professor of Law at the Faculty of Law, Jamia Millia Islamia, a Central University located in New Delhi. During my tenure there, I dedicated over two years to teaching and guiding the next generation of legal professionals.

Building on this experience, I extended my academic career by accepting the position of Assistant Professor at the School of Law, Jamia Hamdard University in New Delhi, India.

Currently, I have the privilege of being associated with the College of Law at the University of Sharjah in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, where I serve as an Assistant Professor. In this role, I continue to impart knowledge and contribute to the legal community through research and education, drawing on the diverse experiences and expertise I have gained throughout my professional journey.
