Air fares fixed for next 3 months, Delhi-Mumbai maximum fare Rs 10,000

The Centre has laid down the upper and lower limit of airfares for the airlines to follow over the next three months – till August – as domestic flights resume operations next Monday. Initially, only a third of operations will be allowed.

The government has said it is time for India to open up following stringent measures for a nationwide lockdown for over two months.

“Because the measures for lockdown were taken very early on in India, we have been able to escape the situation other countries have found themselves in. It is equally important that at some stage you will have to open up.
