The Supreme Court reviewed draft airfare regulations on 17 August and ordered the government to complete them within three weeks.
The case originated from a petition by social activist S Laxminarayanan and has been supported by the Pravasi Legal Cell, whose Dubai chapter president highlighted concerns over high fares during festivals, school holidays, peak seasons and emergencies, while the global president called affordable travel a welfare and social justice issue.
The Centre is expected to finalise the draft rules before the next hearing scheduled for 7 September, and PLC chapters in Oman, Kuwait and other Gulf countries have welcomed the Supreme Court’s intervention.
