Muscat: Airlines flying to south Indian destinations have already increased the fares to cash in on the high demand for tickets from June 1 onwards, the data available with travel agents showed.
"The Indian schools will close for summer vacation in June first week. This is the time when Indians in Oman will fly back home for holidays. So, to make maximum profit, the airlines have already set high prices for tickets to the south Indian destinations," Raji Demonte, general manager at Universal Travel and Tourism Agencies in Oman, said.
According to the data available, the fares to Kerala and Mumbai for travel in June are three or four times higher than current prices.
If a passenger plans to travel on June 4 on Jet Airways to Thiruvananthapuram, he has to pay OMR120 plus taxes and service charges for a return ticket from Muscat. And if he has plans to travel to the same destination before June 3 with a ticket issued before February 28, he has to pay only OMR34 plus taxes and service charges.
