Recently, during the IndiGo Airlines crisis, many passengers complained that airlines were charging unreasonably high fares. In response, the government has taken strict action and set maximum airfare for domestic flights, effective from 6th December 2025.
Now, airlines cannot charge more than the set fares based on the distance of travel. This step aims to ensure affordable and fair air travel for passengers.
Maximum Flights Ticket Price Based on Distance
| Distance (km) | Maximum Price (INR) |
|---|---|
| 0–500 | 7,500 |
| 500–1000 | 12,000 |
| 1000–1500 | 15,000 |
| 1500+ | 18,000 |
Note: These Prices do not include UDF, PSF, and taxes. The rule does not apply to Business Class and UDAN flights.

Flight Ticket Prices from Varanasi to Major Cities
| Route | Airline / Fare (INR) |
|---|---|
| Varanasi–Delhi | Air India Express – 4,598, SpiceJet – 5,960 |
| Varanasi–Hyderabad | 12,675 |
| Varanasi–Mumbai | 15,000–16,000 |
| Varanasi–Kolkata | 6,000–7,000 |
| Varanasi–Bengaluru | 16,000–18,000 |
| Varanasi–Pune | 10,000–12,000 |
After the new rules, airlines started reducing their fares, giving relief to passengers. The government says this move will not only help passengers but also increase competition among airlines and ensure transparency.
This rule applies only to domestic flights. International flights will follow separate regulations. Airlines must provide a valid reason if fares increase due to special circumstances.
With this step, domestic air travel is becoming more affordable and transparent, benefiting passengers and the aviation sector alike.
