The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has accepted the Federation of Indian Airlines’ (FIA) request to provide aggregated airfare data instead of ticket-wise fare details for trend analysis. Earlier, FIA members had reportedly refused to share individual airfare data for two years, citing concerns over competition. The FIA represents major airlines, including Air India, IndiGo, and SpiceJet. It emphasised its commitment to working with the DGCA and the Ministry of Civil Aviation to support the growth of the civil aviation sector by enhancing air connectivity at affordable fares.
