Airfares Prices: If you travel by flight from one city to another, then this news is useful for you. Yes, in the past, there was a huge increase in the flight fares.
But now the average air fare has come down on 10 domestic routes including Delhi-Srinagar. This trend in flight fares is likely to continue in the coming weeks as well. This information has come out from the data collected by DGCA.
Huge hike in air fares on select routes
Let us tell you that after the GoFirst crisis, there was a huge increase in air fares on select routes in the last few weeks. This situation was created due to the shortage of aircraft and the closure of operations on behalf of GoFirst, which was going through a financial crisis.
After this, on June 6, the Ministry of Civil Aviation asked the aviation companies to keep the price of air tickets at a reasonable level. However, an analysis of airfares on a week-on-week basis till July 13 shows that average airfares have declined on some routes.
The data has been collected by the fare monitoring unit of DGCA. A decline has been registered in the airfares of these 10 routes-
Delhi-Srinagar
Srinagar-Delhi
Delhi-Leh
Leh-Delhi
Mumbai-Delhi
Delhi-Mumbai
Delhi-Pune
Pune-Delhi
Ahmedabad-Delhi
Delhi-Ahmedabad.
Ministry sources said that except the Mumbai-Delhi route, there has been a decline in the average airfares on these routes. A jump in airfares has been seen in the last month on the routes operated by GoFirst. GoFirst flights have been closed since May 3. During a meeting chaired by Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on June 5, representatives of airline companies were asked to control fares.
