Air travel will continue to remain expensive during the ongoing festival season, compared to this peak period last year. The fares this year, nevertheless, still remain in the normal zone when compared with the April-June period, when fares skyrocketed due to a sudden capacity crunch post the collapse of Jet Airways.
“With October packed with Dussehra and Diwali festivities, we expect a spike in domestic and international tourism as travellers will be keen on taking a vacation or returning home to be with friends and family. This is the time when people take some time off their daily routine and plan a holiday. Hence, travel requests across the country see a spike,” said Sharat Dhall, COO (B2C), Yatra.com.
