Aviation watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has on Tuesday denied reports that appeared in media on Monday that it convened a meeting of airlines on Tuesday to discuss the airfare rise in the wake of flight cancellations by Jet Airways.
Quoting DGCA sources, ANI reported that the news about the meeting with airlines was wrong.
"There is speculative news in media that DGCA has called all airlines to discuss on airfare hikes due to major Jet Airways flight cancellations and Pakistan airspace closure. This news is wrong," ANI reported.
On Monday, a government official was quoted as saying by PTI that the DGCA called a meeting on Tuesday noon to discuss with airlines the upward spiral in airfares as Jet Airways continue to ground its aircraft and cancel a significant number of flights.
According to the official, after the DGCA grounded all 12 of SpiceJet's 737 Max aircraft on 13 March following the Ethiopian Airlines crash, that killed 157 people, the problem of rising airfares in Indian market has "aggravated".
"DGCA has called a meeting at Tuesday noon to discuss the airfare rise because of significant number of cancellations done by Jet Airways in the last few weeks," the government official told PTI.
