font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">While hearing the matter on January 19, the top court said it would interfere with the \u201cunpredictable fluctuations\u201d in airfares and flagged the exorbitant rise during festivals.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">The top court had termed the exorbitant rise of airfares by the airlines as \u201cexploitation\u201d and asked the Centre and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to file their replies on the plea.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34);

font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">It said the \u201cnew policy of permitting only a single piece for check-in and the absence of any rebate, compensation or benefit to passengers who do not avail themselves of check-in baggage demonstrates the arbitrary and discriminatory nature of the measure\u201d.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">The plea claimed that currently, no authority has the power to review or cap airfares or ancillary fees, allowing the airlines to exploit consumers through hidden charges and unpredictable pricing.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">It said the \u201cunregulated, opaque and exploitative conduct of airlines manifesting in arbitrary fare hikes, unilateral reduction of services, absence of on-ground grievance redressal and unjustified dynamic pricing algorithms directly infringes upon citizens\u2019 fundamental rights to equality, freedom of movement and life with dignity\u201d.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">It said the absence of regulatory safeguards results in arbitrary fare hikes, especially during festivals or weather disruptions, which disproportionately harm poor and last-minute travellers.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">The plea said inaction by the State in regulating fare algorithms, cancellation policies, service continuity and grievance mechanisms constitutes a dereliction of its constitutional duty and calls for urgent judicial intervention.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">It said there is no rule to stop the airlines from increasing prices based on demand and allowing them such freedom under essential services is unjustifiable.
