Domestic flyers will have to pay more for flying with the country. Prices of airfare are all set to reach a new high as the government has hiked it by 10-30 per cent. The government has currently imposed a minimum and maximum limit on fares that airlines can charge from passengers. The Ministry has added that these new limits would remain in force up to March 31, 2021. Though the move will be beneficial to the aviation sector, that was worst affected due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. But flyers will be hit hard till March 31.
