NEW DELHI, July 27 (TIWN): Congress MP Shafi Parambil raised the Airline ticket price issues in the Parliament citing Air India ticket price that had gone over 77,000 for August 31 for Cochin-Dubai route. Addressing the Parliament, Parambil said, “The rate to fly on 27th July from Cochin to Dubai on Air India is Rs. 19062 for economy class. The site shows only 4 seats vacant. Same airline, same duration, same airport of departure and arrival; the same flight for August 31st shows the rate of Rs 77,573. Please note, only 9 seats are left. So is this just about demand and supply?” “For tomorrow only 4 seats are left, and this is the price while it's so much more for August 31st. How will the workers come home? How will they go back to their work? They are not rich people who have abundant resources. Most of them are normal labourers who work for a flat salary,” said Parambil.
“They work hard to ensure that their families have their bread and butter. They work to ensure that their parents get the required treatment. How will a normal employee afford a ticket of Rs 77,000? And if it is the whole family coming home for vacation and then going back, spending Rs 80000/ticket. Rs 3,20,000 one way flight, what will they earn? What will be the balance in their lives?” Parambil.
