Civil Aviation Ministry to Address Rising Festival Airfares

The government is worried about how expensive flights are getting during festivals.

They plan to talk to airlines and tell them not to raise prices too much.

Fares have jumped significantly on popular routes, due to high demand and fewer available seats.

If airlines don't listen, the government may take stronger action to control prices, because airlines set their own fares.

Some airlines say they can’t provide more flights because new planes are late.
