Air tickets on Mumbai-London route dearer by 20 per cent

Mumbai: Prices for air tickets to London from Mumbai have increased by 20 per cent due to lesser availability of seats, as per The Asian Age report. Travel agents say that pre-planned travellers had already booked more than half of the seats in April and May this year, leading to few seats remaining for other passengers. "Mumbai-London is a major aviation corridor and the Olympics have considerably reduced the seat factor. Airfares on this sector have already risen by 20 per cent. Moreover, no airline, including British Airways, has added additional flights on the route to cater to the increasing demand. Apart from England's national carrier British Airways, Jet Airways, Air India and Kingfisher Airlines are the only Indian carriers to have direct flights to London," said a travel agent.
