New Delhi: Aviation watchdog DGCA has called a meeting on Tuesday noon to discuss with airlines the upward spiral in airfares as Jet Airways continue to ground its aircraft and cancel a significant number of flights, a government official said.
According to the official, after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) grounded all 12 of SpiceJet’s 737 Max aircraft on March 13 following the Ethiopian Airlines crash, that killed 157 people, the problem of rising air fares in the Indian market has “aggravated”.
“DGCA has called a meeting at Tuesday noon to discuss rising air fares rise because of significant number of cancellations done by Jet Airways in the last few weeks,” the government official told PTI.
