Will Be Happy If Fare Caps Are Increased: Vistara CEO Vinod Kannan

Vistara will be happy if the lower and upper limits on airfares are increased but the best solution would be for the airlines to have absolute freedom to price, its CEO Vinod Kannan said on Sunday.

On June 16, Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices in India were hiked by the steepest-ever 16 per cent to catapult rates to an all-time high in step with hardening international oil rates.

IndiGo CEO Ronojoy Dutta said on June 1 that the civil aviation ministry should consider increasing the upper limits on domestic airfares as the rising ATF prices have become a “real problem”.

SpiceJet CMD Ajay Singh said on June 16 that the sharp increase in ATF prices and the depreciation of the rupee have left the domestic airlines with no choice but to immediately raise airfares.

The civil aviation ministry had imposed lower and upper limits on domestic airfares based on flight duration when services were resumed on May 25, 2020, after a two-month lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The lower caps are there to protect the financially weaker airlines and the upper caps are to protect the passengers from high fares.

The price of ATF — the fuel that helps planes fly — was on June 16 increased by Rs 19,757.13 per kilolitre, or 16.26 per cent, to Rs 1,41,232.87 per kl (Rs 141.2 per litre) in Delhi, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.

When asked here on Sunday if he believes that upper caps on airfares should be increased amid rising ATF prices and weakening rupee, Kannan told reporters, “Our position, as well as Vistara is concerned, we have always said the best solution or the best open market is where there is absolute freedom to price. That is the ideal situation.”

However, Vistara knows why the fare caps are there, he said.
