New Delhi, August 8

Amid reports of rise in airfares, the civil aviation regulator, DGCA, has asked the airlines to submit details about the ticket prices they have been charging for India-UK flights during August, officials said.

Secretary Inter-State Council Secretariat under Union Ministry of Home Affairs Sanjeev Gupta on Twitter complained that an economy-class ticket on British Airways’s Delhi-London flight for August 26 was priced Rs 3.95 lakh. He added economy-class ticket on Delhi-London flights of Vistara and Air India for August 26 was also priced between Rs 1.2 lakh and Rs 2.3 lakh amid the college admission time in the UK and said he had “alerted” Civil Aviation Secretary PS Kharola about the matter. — TNS
