Domestic passenger flight services commencing from Monday will have a fixed minimum and maximum fare structure for different routes, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Thursday (21 May).
According to the minister, the step has been taken under the special circumstances that have come about due to the outbreak of Covid-19.
Under the new fare structure, air routes are divided into seven sections based on travel time. Each such section has its minimum and maximum fares fixed.
As per reports, the seven sectors have been divided based on flying time of 0-30 minutes, 30-60 minutes, 60-90 minutes, 90-120 minutes, 120-150 minutes, 150-180 minutes, and 180-210 minutes .
Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri revealed that the Delhi to Mumbai sector will have fares ranging from Rs 3,500 to Rs 10.000 out of which 40 per cent of the seats will be capped below Rs 6,700.
Around 33 per cent of the total flights are likely to be operationalised from 25 May.
