The Ministry of Civil Aviation has asked the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to examine the airfare hike and provide some relief to air travellers. “I have asked DGCA to use its powers and look into the matter, although beyond a point, we cannot do anything,” Vayalar Ravi, Civil Aviation Minister told the Economic Times, replying to a question on hiking airfares by airlines ahead of festival season. The fares of almost all major airlines have risen by an average of 10% due to the festive season, though sources in the airline industry maintains that due to high passenger traffic, the low-fare seats were getting filled up fast leaving only high fare options.
