With the aviation industry hitting a financial airpocket, flyers may have to pay more throughout this summer, experts tracking the sector say.
Though recent reports suggest that some issues related to the supply side may be resolved, analysts believe that airfares are likely to stay at an elevated level during the summer quarter due to slow recovery from the previous quarters.
Jet Airways is likely to get back 80 per cent of its grounded fleet by April-end, and Spicejet will be inducting other aircraft in its fleet instead of the 12 grounded Boeing 737 Max.
The opening of the Mumbai airport runway is scheduled for the end of the month.
While these events will help ease supply issues, experts said that rising demand will keep tariffs on the higher side.
