AMaravati, YSRCP MP M Gurumoorthy has urged the Centre to call the "disproportionately heights" airfares on the Hyderabad-Tirupati route, despite warm and uniform rider demand.Gurumoorthy is MP from Tirupati.In a letter to Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu, Gurumoorthy highlighted that Tirupati, home to the revered Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, witnesses heavy year-round passenger traffic comprising pilgrims, senior citizens and middle-income families."Airfares on the Hyderabad-Tirupati route continue to remain disproportionately high despite strong and steady passenger demand, warranting urgent intervention by the Centre," said Gurumoorthy in the letter.He noted that fares from Hyderabad to cities such as Goa, New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai ranged between ₹2,500 and ₹7,000, whereas the Hyderabad-Tirupati sector recorded average non-stop fares between ₹6,600 and ₹9,500, sometime touching ₹14,500.Citing operational data, the MP said the route handled over 11.8 lakh passengers and nearly 13,400 flights between April 2025 and March 2026, while March alone recorded 88,405 passengers with 864 flights, averaging up to 17 daily arrivals.He pointed out that the number of larger aircraft operating on the route had reduced from five to two, with increased deployment of smaller aircraft, which likely constrained seat capacity and contributed to higher fares.Gurumoorthy said the pricing trend runs contrary to the objectives of the government's Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik scheme, which aims to make air travel affordable and accessible to the common public.He urged the Civil Aviation Ministry to direct airline operators to rationalise tariff structures, particularly during peak periods, increase flight frequency, and deploy higher-capacity aircraft to better align supply with demand.This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
