प्रव तथ: 06 DEC 2025 12:25PM by PIB Delhi
The Ministry of Civil Aviation has taken serious note of concerns regarding unusually high airfares being
charged by certain airlines during the ongoing disruption. In order to protect passengers from any form of
opportunistic pricing, the Ministry has invoked its regulatory powers to ensure fair and reasonable fares
across all affected routes.
An official directive has been issued to all airlines mandating strict adherence to the fare caps that have
now been prescribed. These caps will remain in force until the situation fully stabilises. The objective of
this directive is to maintain pricing discipline in the market, prevent any exploitation of passengers in
distress, and ensure that citizens who urgently need to travel — including senior citizens, students, and
patients — are not subjected to financial hardship during this period.
The Ministry will continue to closely monitor fare levels through real-time data and active coordination
with airlines and online travel platforms. Any deviation from the prescribed norms will attract immediate
corrective action in the larger public interest.
