|April 24, 2025
Hopes Dented
AIRFARES TO SRINAGAR marked a significant slump a day after a terror attack in Pahalgam, south Kashmir left 26 tourists dead on Tuesday. Tour operators saw a burst of requests for booking cancellations even as the government asked airlines to not charge fees against it.
Air India, IndiGo and SpiceJet added special flights to Srinagar from Mumbai and Delhi on Wednesday to help stranded tourists return home. Civil aviation minister K Rammohan Naidu convened an urgent meeting with airlines and advised against increasing fares on the Srinagar route.
