New Delhi, Aug 8 (TIWN) Civil aviation regulator DGCA has sought details of airlines' fares for the India-UK route.

The data submitted to the regulator on Sunday shows minimum one-way economy class fares on Delhi-London nonstops during August ranging from Rs 1,03,191 to Rs 1,21,356 on Vistara and Rs 1,28,916 to Rs 1,47,544 for British Airways on different days this month.

For Air India and Virgin Atlantic, the minimum fare this month is Rs 1,15,936 and Rs 1,28,916, respectively. Industry insiders say steep airfares will remain till the presently allowed weekly cap of 30 direct flights between the two countries is raised as there is no regulatory authority to ask airlines to bring down the fares.

Fare of ₹ 3.95 lakh one way Delhi to London on Aug 26. No, it's not 1st class. It's economy on @British_Airways.… https://t.co/IHxyWvLosP  — Sanjeev Gupta (@sanjg2k1) 1628325238000 “International airfares are neither regulated nor monitored as they are dependent on demand and supply,” said a senior official.
