Airline firms under CCI scanner over possible price-fixing
The Competition Commission of India has planned to assess ticket pricing algorithms used by domestic airlines to check for possible cartelisation. CCI Chairperson DK Sikri said the issue came up after the 2016 Jat agitation when ticket prices on Chandigarh-Delhi flights increased sharply. "We asked the airlines. (They said) we don't know, the algorithms are driving it up," Sikri added.
