Airfares in India have soared by 20-25% due to Vistara's troubles and a surge in travel demand. Vistara's operational challenges have led to flight disruptions, pushing passengers towards other airlines and driving up ticket prices. The holiday season and easing COVID-19 restrictions have added to the demand for air travel, creating a scarcity of seats and further inflating fares. While airlines may profit from this spike, concerns linger about the impact on travelers already facing financial strains from the pandemic.
