India’s aviation regulator allowed airlines to deploy 85% of their capacity up from 72.5% and halved the fare cap period to 15 days from booking a ticket.
The higher flight capacity limit will help airlines introduce more flights as demand for domestic travel rises ahead of the festive season comprising Durga Puja and Diwali.
Only financially beleaguered carriers SpiceJet NSE 3.18 % and GoAir are said to to be in favour of restrictions on flights as they have limited cash to fly all their planes.
