The Kangra Travel Agents’ Association on Sunday appealed to Union Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu to reduce airfare between Dharamsala and New Delhi, which it said was beyond the reach of the common man at present.
Members of the association said since the tourist season was about to begin, the Centre should implement the new civil aviation policy for domestic flights announced by it last year, fixing the airfare for one-hour flights at Rs 2,500.
They said the high air tariff between New Delhi and Dharamsala and back had adversely affected the state’s tourism industry. Currently, one-way fare was between Rs 15,000 and Rs 18,000.
