Domestic airfares have tumbled on many major domestic routes after peaking in recent months, fuelled by high costs.
Just a few days after the government did away
with fare caps, domestic airlines Akasa Air,
IndiGo, Air Asia, GoFirst and Vistara have cut prices.
Akasa Air has cut prices across its routes. It is offering Mumbai-Bengaluru flights in the range of Rs 2,000-Rs 2,200, and Mumbai-Ahmedabad is available for just Rs 1,400.
As of August, the same seats went for about Rs 3,948 and Rs 5,008, respectively.
The country's largest airline, IndiGo, has matched Akasa Air's rates on both routes, while GoFirst has also cut its fares on these routes significantly.
Similarly, airfares between Delhi and Lucknow have also dropped in the last few days. It now ranges between Rs 1,900-Rs 2,199, with Air Asia and IndiGo offering the cheapest rates. The cheapest seats on this route were earlier priced between Rs 3,500-Rs 3999.
