New Delhi, June 9 (PTI): Domestic air fares have risen “significantly” between April and May this year compared with the same period last year, mostly because of the reduction in capacity by Kingfisher Airlines and the peak holiday season.
With the directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) analysing air fare data of all airlines during this period, there appeared to be a “significant rise” in fares over the same period last year, official sources said today.
The DGCA, which has been monitoring air fares over specific days during these months, will now broad-base its analysis for a larger time period to establish a trend and find out whether the airlines were over-charging the passengers. However, no airline was charging beyond the fare band, though there was an upward swing in the fares.
