Hyderabad: With Kingfisher airlines flying off Hyderabad, the fares of other airlines in the city have shot through the roof. There has been a steep Rs 1,000-Rs 1,500 jump in the price of tickets of most domestic sectors over the last few days. Apart from sectors with poor traffic such as Hyderabad-Jaipur or Hyderabad-Ahmedabad, even heavy-traffic destinations such as Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Mumbai have seen a sharp price rise.
A one-way fare to Delhi that until recently hovered around Rs 5,500 (booked a week in advance) has now touched Rs 7,000 while Mumbai rates have jumped to Rs 4,200-Rs 4,500 as against its usual Rs 3,500 (approx). Same with Bangalore that has also seen a neat Rs 1,000 rise in price of air tickets. In the case of Ahmedabad, Jaipur or even Kolkata, the rates have crossed the Rs 7,000 mark with many airline operators charging customers as much as Rs 8,000 or more for a single trip.
