Thiruvananthapuram : Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan wrote to the Union Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scinda seeking urgent intervention into the spiraling air fare prices.
Epats in large numbers head back to Kerala during Onam. The increased fares are a big blow to the expats as well as Malayalis from other states who wish to come to native place for the festival. Many are putting off their trips owing to unaffordable flight fares. Therefore, there must come an urgent intervention in this matter, the letter read.
If need be, a special chartered flight should be pressed into service from 15 Aug to 15 September, said CM in the letter.
