The price of a ticket is ₹ 50000 … Why did the flight become so expensive suddenly for Prayagraj?

The fare of air flight to Mahakumbh Prayagraj is touching the sky. Airlines are charging 4 to 5 times more than 4 to 5 times from normal fare to go to Prayagraj and come from there. This is not just a matter of Mahakumbh, this fare increases often on every festival in India. In such a situation, now the question is being asked that why is such an expensive rent charged and what is the formula to increase the fare by the airlines?

Actually, this discussion of air fares is intensifying, because a large number of people are going to join the royal bath and Prayagraj confluence in Mahakumbh on 29 January. On this occasion, the air fare has also made air fare quite expensive.

For example, Delhi-Prayagraj return aerial fare (Delhi-Pryagraj Air Fare) has increased four times to more than Rs 50,000. Many people are sharing its screenshots on social media. Prayagraj is expected to have the highest crowd on January 28 and 29 due to Mauni Amavasya. According to India Today, the price of the Mumbai-Prayagraj return ticket for January 28 is more than Rs 41,000.

DGCA issued instructions
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), who monitors airlines companies, has now intervened for such an increase in air fares. DGCA has issued instructions to airlines companies to rationalize air fare for Prayagraj. Gaurav Sawant of India Today TV said that due to high air fare, he had to travel by road from Delhi to Prayagraj.

How is the air fare fixed in India?
Not only Aquarius but during most of the festivals like Holi and Diwali, we see a similar increase in air fares. The same happens in summer and winter holidays. Former corporate and investment banker Amitabh Tiwari told India Today that the simple question is how the air fare is decided? He said that the government needs to ask the airlines to ask which formula to decide the price.

He said that there has been no surge in the cost of service. Still, why are airlines companies charging more? Airlines companies are clearly making profits from demand.

Prayagraj’s fare from abroad?
Sharing the screenshot of the air ticket on the travel website, a person on X said, “The fare from Bhubaneswar to Bangkok is Rs 10,000, while the fare from Bhubaneswar to Prayagraj is Rs 39,000.” At the same time, the fare from Delhi to Singapore ranged from Rs 12 thousand to Rs 17,000. But Prayagraj’s fare from Delhi was up to 50 thousand rupees for return.
