As concerns mount over rise in airfares during peak seasons and crisis situations, aviation regulator DGCA has asked airlines to provide details on the number of tickets sold in the highest fare bracket and share of revenue earned from this on 20 identified routes.
"We have identified 20 routes across Tier-I, Tier-II and Tier-III cities for the purpose of making the perspective clear on how many seats are being sold," a DGCA official said.
The DGCA has identified routes like Mumbai-Srinagar, Kolkata-Guwahati, Kolkata-Port Blair, Delhi-Srinagar, Delhi-Leh, Delhi-Dehradun, Delhi-Patna, Delhi-Mumbai, Bangalore-Delhi, Delhi-Hyderabad and Mumbai-Hyderabad for this purpose.
DGCA plans to publish these numbers in its monthly traffic data from next month, the official said.
As it seeks to clamp down on airlines charging exorbitant ticket prices, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has also asked them to submit specific information about the number of seats and relevant fares on 20 identified routes, the official said.
