Aloke Singh, MD, Air India Express, said Indian carriers’ capасity is set to outpace demand, potentially leading to lower fares. The airline will add about 15 aircraft in the 2025-26 fiscal year. This 45% capacity increase is expected to raise monthly passenger numbers to 2.5 million from 2 million next year.

“Indian Civil Aviation Ministry is monitoring airfares daily as the festive season approaches”, said Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu, Minister Civil Aviation, Govt of India. He said that the government has been in contact with airport operators, asking them to keep airfares reasonable and not exploit the increase in demand during the season, adding that no unreasonable fare surges have been observed yet, and the ministry will take appropriate actions if necessary.
