The advisory comes after the aviation regular received several complaints about hike in economy class fares, especially in the India-UK sector.

Sanjeev Gupta, secretary of the Union Home Ministry's Inter-State Council Secretariat, tweeted on Saturday that the economy-class ticket on a British Airways Delhi-London flight for August 26 was priced at INR 3.95 lakh.
Economy-class tickets on Vistara and Air India's Delhi-London flights for August 26 also cost between INR 1.2 lakh and INR 2.3 lakh.

Vistara, which currently operates flights on the Delhi-London as well as the Mumbai-London route, said on Sunday, "Pricing is always a function of supply and demand. There are only 15 flights a week allowed currently on India – UK route for Indian carriers and when there is relaxation and more capacity allowed, it will automatically bring down prices."
