New Delhi: A Parliamentary panel has proposed route-specific capping of airfares and setting up of a separate entity to exercise control over air ticket prices, amid concerns in various quarters about surging fares.
After considering the responses from the civil aviation ministry on airfares, the committee said that self regulation of ticket prices by airlines has not been effective.
The Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture on Thursday tabled the report on the action taken by the government on its recommendations/observations on the issue of fixing of airfares.
