Average economy class fares on flights of Air India, United Airlines and Lufthansa, operating under the ‘air bubble’ arrangement currently, are comparable to the average fares of pre-pandemic era, Minister of State for Civil Aviation V K Singh said on Monday.
Scheduled international passenger flights have been suspended in India since March 23 last year, when the coronavirus pandemic had started spreading across the world.
However, since July last year, India has formed bilateral air bubble arrangements with around 31 countries so that special international passenger flights — with certain restrictions — could be operated.
