Jammu and Kashmir floods: Air India, Indigo, others told to cap Srinagar-Delhi airfares

New Delhi: In yet another direction to help passengers trapped in flood-ravaged Jammu and Kashmir, DGCA today asked all airlines to cap the airfares on Srinagar-Delhi and Leh-Delhi flights to Rs 2,800 and Rs 3,000.
Air India, Jet Airways, IndiGo and other carriers today said they had made arrangements to extend the waiver for refund or reissue of tickets as per the DGCA directive.
If an air traveller is cash-strapped due to the precarious situation prevailing in Srinagar and elsewhere in the state, the DGCA has asked the air carriers to collect fares only after they reached Delhi.
The airlines have also been asked to mount additional flights to clear the rush of outbound tourists from Srinagar.

The decisions were taken by the aviation regulator in consultation with the airlines in view of the flash floods in Jammu and Kashmir and all airlines have agreed to the decision, official sources said.
