The government-imposed upper and lower limits on airfares may be extended beyond August 24 depending on how the situation turns out, aviation secretary P. S. Kharola said on Saturday.
The government resumed domestic passenger flights from May 25 after nearly two months of suspension to combat the coronavirus outbreak, but placed lower and upper limits on airfares, depending on the flight duration. On May 21, it had said that these limits would be in place for a period of three months.
“Depending on how the situation turns out, the fare band may have to be adjusted beyond that (August 24) also. But right now, it is only for three months,” Kharola said at a press conference here.
