News India Live, Digital Desk: You and I often complain that air travel is no longer within the reach of “hawai chappal” people. Be it a festival or an emergency, airlines increase ticket prices as if a lottery is being held. But when this “loot” happens to a big leader of the country or his family, then this issue comes into limelight.
Latest case: Senior leader and outspoken speaker of JDU (JD-U) KC Tyagi Is connected to. He has expressed such anger over the arbitrariness of the airlines that everyone is praising him on social media.
What happened after all?
KC Tyagi told that his daughter had to come to Delhi from Mumbai. The reason was not for any reason, but for a very sad reason. Someone in the family had died and it was important for the daughter to reach there soon. But when it came time to book tickets, Air India He was shocked to see the fare.
A normal flight from Mumbai to Delhi He was charged Rs 41,000 for an economy class ticket. Just think! This is the same route where it costs Rs 5 to 8 thousand on normal days. For 41 thousand rupees, perhaps a person can travel abroad and come back!
Tyagi ji conducted class
KC Tyagi did not remain silent after this incident. he expressed his anger DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) And took out the policies of the government. He was absolutely right in saying that this is not “rent”, but “Predatory Pricing” Is.
He said in a stern tone that when Air India was government owned, there was a control. But since it has been privatized and Tata has taken over, is there no control over them now?
This is not just the story of one leader, it is the story of all of us.
Tyagi ji’s anger is justified because it can happen to anyone. Suppose there is a medical emergency at someone’s house and he has to take a flight immediately, will the airlines take advantage of his helplessness? DGCA’s job is to put a ‘cap’ (upper limit) on rent, so that companies cannot act arbitrarily. But the reality is that when demand increases, ticket prices start skyrocketing.
the question is still the same
KC Tyagi is still capable, he gave the money and also raised his voice. But what about that middle class family, which is not in a position to pay such huge rent in an emergency? It is hoped that after a big politician raises his voice, perhaps the system sleeping like Kumbhakarna will wake up and this ‘looting’ of the airlines will be put to rest.
