Vistara, a major airline, has scaled down its operations by 10% due to disruptions, leading to a 25% increase in fares on key routes, as reported by @ld_neha and @sukalp4. This operational scale-down comes nearly a year after GoFirst filed for voluntary bankruptcy, which has not seen a significant increase in the number of daily departures in Indian skies, despite airlines adding multiple aircraft, according to @khabri_lal. The reduction in Vistara flights, coupled with high air travel demand, has resulted in airfares spiking by 20-25% for domestic flights this summer. The situation has sparked fears of a significant fare increase, although other factors are also influencing the current airfare rates, as noted by @khabri_lal. Meanwhile, Air India faces potential disruptions as its aircraft technicians plan a strike.
