NEW DELHI: Domestic air travel is set to become costlier as the Civil Aviation Ministry on Friday raised the lower limit on fares by 13 to 16 per cent, according to an official order.
The increase in airfares will come into effect from June 1, it said.
The upper limits on fares remain unchanged.
The government has raised the lower limits to help the airlines amid a devastating second wave of COVID-19, which has reduced air travel significantly.
