If something is working, don't change it
by Jaya Sekhar on Mar 07, 2007 01:31 PM   Permalink

Don't change it even by using flimsy pretexts. Nobody thought about it till Air Deccan capitalised on the non-peak reduced tariff advantage and suddenly the govt. wants to structure its pricing around it. The solution for decongesting is in building better infrastructure. We should scoff at artificial means such as these by making airfares 'unaffordable'. What happens if people still buy tickets at hiked 'peak-time' prices? What happens to the decongestion argument? And what happens if people stop flying by a big percentage during peak hours? Will we then sit and dissect under utilization of the air infrastructure in this country? Govt should see all dimensions of the issue before announcing such measures
