Airlines assure of maintaining faresAuthor: Shoren ShaerThe government on Friday said airlines have assured that they would maintain fares at last week's level, amid the deadlock over talks between Jet Airway's management and its pilots to end the 4-day stir which has seen other carriers charging excessive ticket rates.In our meeting today with airlines, we reiterated that airlines must ensure that they maintain airfares what they were 4-5 days back. They must also reschedule flights on routes which have much more demands, Civil Aviation Secretary M M Nambiar told reporters after emerging from a meeting with six airlines here.The airlines have assured the government that they would maintain the airfares at last week's level and also reschedule the flights on high-demand sectors, he added.In a letter to airlines, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation last night had asked the airlines to charge fares at last week's level from stranded passengers of Jet Airways whose pilots are on a mass sick leave to protest the sacking of two of their colleagues.Jet Airways on an average is cancelling 200 flights every day since the pilots went on sick leave from Tuesday. Media reports said following strike by Jet pilots, other carriers were charging an average of Rs 9,000-10000 for Mumbai - Delhi route, while some are even charging up to Rs 15,000 per seat.The airlines that participated in the meeting are IndiGo Airlines, Air India, SpiceJet, Kingfisher Airline, Jet Konnect and MDLR.Nambiar added that the government has been receiving complaints that air carriers are raising fares after Jet pilots' agitation, which is a matter of great concern to us and not acceptable.Protesting sacking of their colleagues, Jet pilots continued to be on mass sick leave for the fourth day today, leading to an average cancellation of 200 flights every day.About the Author:Article Source: ArticlesBase.com - Airlines assure of maintaining fares

Manufactured vs. Mined DiamondsManufactured vs. Mined DiamondsAuthor: Ryan FrankDiamonds are expensive not just because of their beauty and resilience, but also in large part because of the fact that they are very rare and difficult to extract.

But now that diamonds can be created cheaply, in potentially high quantity, and with a quality that is equal or greater than the quality of natural diamonds, the diamond industry finds itself in an uncertain flux. |
