Skyrocketing airfares: GoFirst’s absence, thunderstorms, demand to blame
Domestic airfares in the country have skyrocketed on certain routes. The ticket prices for Delhi-Mumbai, and Delhi-Kochi, among others, have gone above the roof, thanks to GoFirst’s absence combined with the untimely thunderstorms that have resulted in the diversion of several flights.
Passengers making 24-hour advance purchases of air-ticket from Delhi to Mumbai will have to pay more than those making bookings for Delhi-Dubai, The Times of India (TOI) reports. The cheapest option from Delhi to Mumbai was Rs 19,000 for a one-way ticket. Whereas, for Delhi to Dubai, it was Rs 14,000, the report said.
