Supreme Court to Hear Plea on Regulating Airfare Fluctuations on September 7
The Supreme Court of India will hear a plea on September 7 seeking regulatory guidelines to address unpredictable fluctuations in airfare and ancillary charges by private airlines. The government is fast-tracking rules under the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024, aimed at modernizing the aviation sector, with draft rules expected within three weeks. The plea, filed by social activist S Laxminarayanan, calls for an independent regulator to ensure transparency and passenger protection amid concerns over high fares and reduced baggage allowances.
