Summary
New aviation rules are being fast-tracked by the Centre for India's civil aviation sector. These rules will be finalized within three weeks under the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024. The government is responding to Supreme Court concerns about unpredictable airfare increases and passenger charges. India's aviation market currently operates on a dynamic pricing model, which can lead to varying ticket costs.
