Sounds crazy? That’s the reality Indian flyers face daily. A social activist, S Laxminarayanan, has dragged the issue to the Supreme Court; and the top court is finally stepping in. On Sept 7, Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta will hear his plea demanding a regulator to control wild airfare swings and sneaky charges; like baggage fees that suddenly doubled. The Centre promised to frame new aviation rules under the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024, but hasn’t made them public yet. Even more alarming? Airlines quietly slashed free baggage from 25kg to 15kg; and made you pay extra. No refund if you don’t use it. Zero transparency. This isn’t just about pricing; it’s about fairness. And if the SC acts, it could reshape how millions fly in India. The ball’s in their court; and ours.
