Prohibitive airfares on Srinagar sector

With mercury soaring in many states and people from mainland heading for cooler Kashmir, the airfares on Srinagar sector have become prohibitive.
A cursory look at the travel web portals shows that the airfare on Delhi-Srinagar sector is touching Rs 17,000 for the coming days. Only two weeks ago, the airfare on this sector was between Rs 4000 to Rs 5000.
As per travel portals, the airfare to Srinagar from Metropolitan cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune and even Kolkata has also seen steep hike.
The rising airfare is giving tough time to the ordinary people especially the students and patients planning to travel back home to the Valley.
“From Delhi to Srinagar if we book a ticket one week prior to the travel date, it costs around Rs 8,000 to 10,000, which is too high as compared to what the rate was just a few months back,” said a frequent flyer.
