Daily passenger traffic down to 10,000
As the number of COVID-19 cases across the country touches a new high every day, air travel has reduced over the past fortnight and airfares too have gone up.
For instance, the fare for flights to Bengaluru was ₹1,700- ₹2,000 a few months ago but now it had risen to ₹2,700 to ₹3,000. Similarly, the fares to Delhi, which were in the range of ₹4,000-₹4,500, had now touched ₹6,000 to ₹6,200. While for Hyderabad, the fares had gone up from ₹2,500 to ₹3,300 now.
