KOLKATA: The torching of trains and violence on platforms across north India that has led to cancellation of multiple trains has pushed up airfares across the board to most cities in north and west India.
The only city that has seen fares actually drop from Rs 6,000 to Rs 5,000 is Patna. “The violence in Bihar has actually led to people postponing their travel plans to the state. Fares to Darbhanga on a regional flight with limited number of seats have also remained static at Rs 5,000,” said an aviation industry official.
