DGCA lens on Diwali fares as airlines add 1,762 flights
As the festive season enters the Diwali month, airlines are gearing up to meet the anticipated surge in air travel demand by adding 1,762 additional flights. The proactive action comes amid heightened scrutiny of airfares from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to curb any unjustified spike during the the period.
The ministry of civil aviation, in a statement on Sunday, said the DGCA has been directed to keep a close watch on fare patterns and ensure that ticket prices remain within reasonable limits.
