Where Airfares Go From Here

Airfares are rising just as the festive travel season approaches. ATF prices have jumped sharply in recent months, while a weaker rupee is adding to airlines’ fuel costs. At the same time, fewer flights and slower aircraft deliveries are tightening capacity even as demand picks up.

In this episode, Host Anirban Chowdhury speaks to ET's Forum Gandhi, about what is driving the surge in airfares, how airlines are balancing higher costs with weaker domestic traffic, and why Mumbai flyers could face an additional hit as capacity shifts to Navi Mumbai Airport. The conversation also looks at what passengers should watch over the next six months.
