NEW DELHI: Around 46% Indians who were planning to travel by flight this summer are likely to either drop their plans or take an alternative mode of travel as a result of airlines increasing prices of tickets due to rising prices of crude oil after the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
\nThese were the findings of a survey of 10,389 people from 301 districts across India by community social media platform LocalCircles, which was conducted in the aftermath of the Russia-Ukraine war and its impact on prices of crude oil and airfares for international and domestic flights. Global crude oil prices have soared this week, touching their highest since 2008.
\nAccording to another recent LocalCircles survey on February 23, 59% of respondents had said that they were planning to travel during the period between March to May, though only 12% had made their bookings. However, the new survey reveals that the travel landscape has changed significantly within two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
