Supreme Court judge dismisses plea over 700% airfare surge
Original: vikram nath airfare surge ruling
A Supreme Court bench led by Justice Vikram Nath sharply dismissed a plea alleging a 700% surge in airfares, with the judge remarking 'Don't travel by air. Next case' before moving on. The blunt response has drawn attention in India, with debate focusing on the court's handling of complaints about steep ticket price hikes and whether regulators should examine surge pricing by airlines.
Why now: The judge's blunt remark on rising airfares struck a chord amid public frustration with expensive flights in India.
