Air India Capped Fares Amid IndiGo Chaos
6 Dec
Summary
- Air India and its subsidiary capped economy fares on domestic flights.
- Capacity is being added to assist passengers affected by disruptions.
- Government introduced airfare caps due to IndiGo's flight issues.
Air India and its subsidiary, Air India Express, have proactively capped economy class airfares on non-stop domestic flights. This decision was made to mitigate the effects of usual demand-and-supply mechanisms impacting ticket prices, especially following disruptions from another airline.
The Air India Group is actively seeking to increase capacity. This initiative is designed to help passengers and their checked baggage reach their intended destinations more quickly, offering a measure of relief during the ongoing travel turmoil.
These actions follow the government's announcement of introducing airfare caps. The disruptions, primarily linked to IndiGo's flight issues, have led to significant travel challenges for numerous flyers across various routes.
