IndiGo on Thursday said airfares have stabilised for the Prayagraj flights and that the airline has significantly increased the number of flights on the route to 900 for the Maha Kumbh.
There have been persistent concerns about soaring airfares on the flights to Prayagraj in the wake of rising passenger demand and the government has asked airlines to maintain air ticket prices as well as operate more flights on the route. Maha Kumbh, which commenced on January 13, will conclude on February 26.
Besides the additional capacity that has already been activated, IndiGo said it is working on reallocating capacity from other parts of its network to add more flights, to cater to the influx of passengers.
"The airline has also ensured to stabilise airfares and is committed to providing the best possible travel experience to all its customers," it said in a release.
On Wednesday, sources said IndiGo has reduced the fares for Prayagraj flights in the range of 30-50 per cent.
