Airlines should be flexible in ticket pricing rather than capping air fares at Rs 2,500 for one-hour flights, a study says. "The proposed all-inclusive cap of Rs 2,500 on air fare is even lower than the first AC train fare for longer routes covered by one-hour flights (600-800 kilometres). The cap on air ticket should be linked to distance travelled," the study said.
The suggestion is part of a study on 'Regional and Remote Connectivity in India' released by Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju at an event today.
According to the report, since there is a high risk of a lower load factor on regional routes, more flexibility should be given to
This draft policy has suggested measures to tap the growing potential of the domestic aviation sector, including 2 per cent levy on all air tickets to fund regional connectivity.
