Airfare Cap Removal to Hit Common Flyers, Warns FIP President Randhawa

• FIP President Captain Charanvir Singh Randhawa expresses concern over the Ministry of Civil Aviation's decision to lift the airfare cap on domestic flights.
• Randhawa warns that removing the cap could lead to a significant rise in ticket prices, especially during peak travel seasons, impacting common passengers.
• He argues that the decision goes against the 'Aam Aadmi Udaan Bhare' policy and makes air travel less affordable for ordinary citizens.
• Randhawa highlights a contradiction with a recent announcement of fare relief on a section of seats, stating the cap removal negates such benefits.
• The Ministry of Civil Aviation withdrew the temporary fare caps starting March 23, citing stabilized operations, but urged airlines to exercise pricing discipline.
