Airline Ticket Prices

As airline ticket prices often see a surge in price hikes during the festive season, the Centre has stepped in saying it is "keeping an eye" on the situation.

Several screenshots showed that the discounted rates were available for almost two hours on the airline's app and several other ticketing websites.

Airfares are set to shoot up as one of India's largest airlines IndiGo has introduced a distance-based "fuel charge" on domestic and international routes.

As India's airline market transforms into a duopoly, ticket prices that have long known to be dirt-cheap are climbing.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has advised top officials of airline companies that the government will be forced to take concrete action if there is an unbridled hike in air fares, especially in the sector where Go First has stopped operation.

The government has asked airlines to exercise moderation and ensure a balance in pricing of air tickets amid a spike in airfares on certain routes especially after suspension of flights by crisis-hit Go First, according to a senior official.

The worst of the pandemic has subsided, countries are accessible again and airlines expect decent profits now that business and leisure travel has returned. Why, then, are fares still so high?

Shares of Indian domestic airlines rose on Thursday, a day after the civil aviation ministry said it will remove the restrictions on ticket prices

Airlines will be free to decide what to charge passengers from August 31; the government has ended the limits it had placed on airfares when the pandemic began.

India will remove the fare caps it imposed on domestic airlines in 2020 during the pandemic on Aug. 31, the country's civil aviation ministry said on Wednesday, lifting restrictions on ticket prices.

A Twitter user who recently travelled on an IndiGo flight shared a screenshot of the price break-up of his ticket fare, and one detail from the bill has caught the attention of netizens.

Now that the worst of the pandemic seems to be over and people are traveling more freely again, another hot topic is on the tips of everyone's tongues: expensive plane tickets.

Shares of InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, the operator of India's biggest airline IndiGo, surged more than 4 per cent in late morning deals after the carrier stated that it is expecting to raise ticket prices.

Top airline bosses agreed on many things at the Wings India airshow in Hyderabad last month: taxes should be reduced and airport capacity must be ramped up. But there's one thing they couldn't settle upon.

Venezuela has announced that it is opening up its largest airport to allow travellers to purchase airline tickets using cryptocurrency.
