Air Fare: There has been a big drop in air fares. This decline has happened after reaching the record level of airfares. At the same time, there has been a decrease in air tickets on some other routes as well.
Air Fare Price Drop: There has been a decline in air fares for some time now. In such a situation, there is a possibility that the fare on domestic flights may be cheaper. Southwest monsoon winds have signaled the beginning of the low air travel season. Although India’s domestic passenger traffic has not declined much and is still more than 4 lakhs, but demand supply is expected to change.
