Four perspectives on the Indian airfare hike issue

It's holiday season and everyone is fighting over flights.Early in December, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel frowned upon a proposal submitted by Indian airlines that would hike ticket prices based on a new distance-wise fare calculation.Usually a one-way flight between Mumbai and Delhi costs between Rs 2,500 and Rs 16,000.
