Air travel expensive: Government increased the minimum fare limit by 10% and maximum by 13%, Bhopal to Delhi will have to pay Rs 4,500 to 13,000

People traveling by air will now have to pay higher fares. The Civil Aviation Ministry has now increased the minimum and maximum fare limits. With this, airlines can increase the fare. The minimum fare will increase by 10% and the maximum will increase by 13%.

In fact, after the nationwide lockdown last year, in May, the government had fixed a ceiling on airfares. This was done because less number of flights were operating then. Due to this companies were charging more money for tickets. Now that the lockdown has been relaxed and the number of air passengers is also increasing, the government has increased this limit.
