AGARTALA, Nov 4 (TIWN): Costly flight tickets in all routes have hit the passengers in Tripura everyday.

Tickets for Delhi-Agartala, Agartala-Kolkata, Kolkata-Agartala are offering mounting charges to the travelers.

This costly flight fares were never experienced in last many years, but with numbers of quitting flights the cost is turning unbearable for common men.

At the same time unavailability of tickets are leading heavy sufferings for the patients parties who are unable to travel other states for treatment. Apart from that issue, if any ticket is available then its price is skyrocketing. Air India Tickets (if luckily anybody gets) it costs Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 16,000.

Overall, Airway passengers are reeling under same miseries. This situation has been worsen due to Indigo morning flights departure and SpiceJet's unavailability.

With the numbers of decreasing flights in Agartala Airport, crisis of ticket amid skyrocketing price have gripped the airway transport.

After state had undergone a shock with SpiceJet service's closing, the most crowded Agartala-Kolkata, Kolkata-Agartala morning flights of Indigo had also stopped service from Oct 21. 

Already with SpiceJet's closing flight fares went high for Agartala passengers whereas with Indigo's closing of two flights will lead more costly flight fares.

Amid poor revenue for decades both SpiceJet and Indigo had served Tripura, whereas with 7 months of BJP Govt Airport is almost in paralyzed situation and Modi's H for Highways, I for I-Ways, R for Railways, A for Airways is resulting just against the expectation of public.

Right now, 180 seated Indigo 6E 139 carries passenger from Kolkata to Agartala everyday at 7 am whereas at 9 am Indigo 6E 833 leaves from Agartala for Kolkata. But with fog 'excuse', for now Indigo has also stopped both the flight services.
