After the pahalgam attack fare of the flight from srinagar to Delhi reacted up to 65 Thousand rupees goes viral

After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April 2025, there was a sudden huge increase in the prices of flight tickets from Srinagar to Delhi and other cities. After the death of 26 tourists in this attack, there was a competition to get out of the valley, due to which the airlines increased the prices of tickets manifold. The next day of the attack, unilateral flight ticket prices from Srinagar to Delhi reached Rs 65,000, while on normal days the same tickets are between Rs 12,000 and 15,000. For example, SpiceJet’s April 24 flight fare was Rs 28,800, while the same flight was available for May 5 for Rs 14,600. IndiGo flights also reached Rs 15,000.

Suddenly Air Lines increased prices by 4 to 5 times

This sudden increase raised people on social media. Many users accused the airlines of “profiteering in chrysis”. One user wrote, “Srinagar -Delhi flight fare is looking 4 to 6 times more than normal days. It is a time of crisis and in such a situation, there is open loot in the private sector.

Following increasing pressure and complaints from passengers on social media, the Ministry of Civil Aviation directed the airlines to control rent and operate extra flights. Subsequently, Air India and IndiGo announced extra flights from Srinagar to Delhi and Mumbai. Also, the airlines also provided the facility to waive the fee for ticket cancellation and edit by April 30.

This is straightforward loot. The behavior of airline companies is worse than terrorists. They are enemies of life and these people of goods. Airline people on Aak Thu Tum. Everything will be ruined one day. pic.twitter.com/tw2Zfw7bno

These are worse than terrorist attack, said users

A lot of users took out their anger on social media and said that this is worse than a terrorist attack. At a time when the whole country is immersed in mourning, the air line is charging arbitrary fare from the victims. Significantly, this attack and the events after that have caused deep shock to the tourism industry of Kashmir. Local traders and guides condemned the attack by burning candles and demanded the safety of tourists. This is a major setback for the local economy dependent on tourism.
