IndiGo crisis: Domestic air fares capped at ₹18,000, excluding service fee, taxes – check details
Amid the slew of IndiGo flight disruptions and surging airfares, the Civil Aviation Ministry, on Saturday, directed capping of domestic airfares at ₹18,000 (excluding service fee, taxes), with immediate effect and would be applicable until fares stabilise, or till further review. The capping, however does not apply for business class and UDAN flights, as per the government’s statement.
The government directive comes as IndiGo operations across India remained severely disrupted for the fifth consecutive day on Saturday, with more than 400 flights cancelled, leaving thousands of passengers stranded at airports in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Guwahati, and other cities.
