The Civil Aviation Ministry has announced their decision to increase the domestic airfare from June 1 onwards. As per an order by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), "Fare for domestic travel less than 40 minutes of duration will be hiked by Rs 2,300 to Rs 2,600, which is 13 per cent of the current fare." Flights with duration between 40 minutes to one hour will have fares at a lower limit of Rs 3,300. The fares for such flights were earlier capped by the ministry at Rs 2,900. Similarly, for flights of duration between 60-90 minutes airfare will be charged at Rs 4,000, 90-120 minutes at Rs 4,700, 150-180 minutes at Rs 6,100 and 180-210 minutes will cost Rs 7,400. Currently, the airfare for flights in the above period is cheaper by Rs 300 to Rs 1,000.
