Why the ticket prices are rising?
Due to the beginning of the summer vacation in North India in June. The demand for air travel also increased, which led the leading airlines in the country to hike ticket prices for specific routes.
It also has been reported that the rise in fuel prices and inflation also contributed to a sharp rise in air travel prices. The fuel cost has witnessed a massive rise of 76 percent in 2022 as compared to 2019. Apart from this, the collapse of Go First Airlines, which used to be the third largest carrier in the country, is also considered as another factor for a sudden rise in airfare.
