The Hindu
Currently, the two groups of airlines -- Indian carriers and British carriers -- are each allowed to operate 15 flights per week on the India-U.K. route
The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has increased the cap on special flights that operate between India and the U.K. from 30 to 60 flights per week from August 16 onwards. The ministry's decision has come five days after Sanjeev Gupta, Secretary, Inter-State Council Secretariat, Union home ministry, had complained on Twitter that an economy-class ticket on Delhi-London flights of British Airways, Air India and Vistara for August 26 was priced between ₹1.2 lakh and ₹3.95 lakh. After Mr. Gupta's post, Vistara had said on Sunday that pricing is always a function of supply and demand.More Related News
