There is no effect of government’s appeal!
Last month, the Ministry of Civil Aviation had clearly told the airlines to maintain proper ticket prices after complaints of charging very expensive fare for flights going to Prayagraj last month. Airlines companies are charging high air fare from passengers for flights in Prayagraj, and there were frequent complaints.
However, after this initiative of the government, IndiGo also reduced the fares for the city by 30-50 percent. But looking at the fare of February 18, it seems that the government’s appeal on the airlines is not showing any effect. Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi then said that Prayagraj’s fare for flights is very high and urged aviation regulator DGCA to take steps to reduce prices.
