Airlines increase domestic fares

KARACHI: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and private airlines have jacked up domestic fares, citing ‘flux of passengers’.
As per details, the fare of the return ticket from Islamabad to Karachi and Karachi to Lahore has reached Rs35,000 to 70,000. Sources having knowledge of the matter stated that the fares have been jacked up due to a gap in the demand and supply chain due to the flux of passengers. The flux of the passenger has increased due to the end of summer vacation and the fares will be reduced to normal when the flux ends, the sources familiar with the issue said. –Agencies
