Air travel is set to become more expensive as the ongoing West Asia conflict disrupts global aviation and fuel markets. The Centre has decided to withdraw the airfare cap introduced last December after IndiGo cancellations had triggered a surge in ticket prices. With flight capacity now restored, restrictions will be lifted, but rising operational costs remain a concern. Airspace closures and rerouted flights are increasing fuel consumption, delays, and travel times. Additionally, higher war-risk insurance and safety concerns are adding pressure on airlines. While authorities promise strict monitoring, passengers should prepare for higher fares and unpredictable flight schedules.
