Prayagraj tickets: Airlines ignore Govt directive

After public outcry that tickets to Prayagraj is more expensive than going to London, Govt made big announcement that airlines have been asked to reduce flight fare to Prayagraj.

However airlines haven't bothered to implement the same. Airlines have only reduced slightly by 5%, 10% max. Tickets to Prayagraj for various dates in Feb are still selling for 45k to 60k return from BLR

• Delhi Prayagraj is still selling for 25k return for Feb 2025
• Mumbai Prayagraj is 35k return for Feb 2025

After Maha kumbh ends, ticket price is 15k return for March & April 2025

So airlines are in no mood to reduce price or follow govt directive. Passengers need to cough up 4x the price if they want to fly to Prayagraj.
