Travel agents decry huge hike in air fares to Gulf sector

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Association of Travel Agents today expressed concern over "huge" increase in fares by private airlines to various destinations in the Gulf by exploiting the crisis due to Air India pilots' strike.
In a statement here, KATA said it was all the more serious that the fares were hiked at a time when there was heavy post-vacation rush to the Gulf countries from Kerala.
Association president K V Muraleedharan wanted Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and central ministers from the state to urgently take up the issue with the Civil Aviation Ministry to bring relief to thousands of passengers.
