Parliamentary Committee expresses concern over rising airfares

A parliamentary committee has expressed serious concern regarding the rising airfares during discussions with officials from IndiGo and Air India. According to a report by The Economic Times, officials from these two airline companies cited factors such as the increasing prices of Aviation Turbine Fuel and the closure of Pakistan's airspace as the primary reasons behind the high fares.

During the discussion, it was revealed that due to these challenges, IndiGo incurred significant losses during the September quarter. Air India is also currently facing similar types of challenges. The airline companies presented these situations as key factors impacting their business.

During this meeting, deliberations were held not only on the issue of fares but also on other important subjects. The committee also reviewed aircraft safety and the implementation of global aviation practices in India. The discussion focused on the current crises in the aviation sector and safety standards.
