flag Indian airlines oppose a new rule mandating 60% of seats be free to select, warning it could raise airfares.

flag Indian airlines IndiGo, Air India, and SpiceJet, along with the Federation of Indian Airlines, oppose a new government directive requiring at least 60% of seats to be offered for free selection, warning it could lead to higher airfares. flag They argue seat selection fees are a key revenue source that helps offset rising operational costs, and eliminating them would force airlines to raise ticket prices across the board. flag The industry warns the rule, issued without prior consultation, undermines commercial flexibility and could harm financial stability, particularly for budget travelers. flag The Ministry of Civil Aviation has not yet responded publicly.
