Airlines Set Delhi - Mumbai Fares at Rs 2000 Each Way

There's no evidence yet (yet!) of collusion between lowfare airlines, but strangely GoAir, SpiceJet and IndiGo have all raised their one-way base fares between Delhi and Mumbai to Rs 2,000 each way, doubling the previous base fare (and quadrupling the common sale fare). With fees, the fare now comes to about Rs 5,400 each way. The busy sector accounts for nearly half of all air travel in India.

If passengers rebel and refuse to fly, look for one of the airlines to break and drop fares back to Rs 500 levels.
