Aviation analysts said that the reduction in the fares is only temporary considering the fact that the airlines will have to reduce the fares in the off-peak season starting from November.

Though the fare fixing exercise has been undertaken regularly, the airlines have the habit of violating it. The fare fixing is only on paper and airlines will offer discounts within few days after the agreement. This time also the case will not be different, the analyst said. In fact, the fares vary from one airline to another. While Royal Jordan offers the minimum amount for Europe, Swiss Air does not have any discounts. India's international carrier Air India comes somewhere in between, said the analyst. The discounts are the best way to attract more and more passengers tothe country. The fares are controlled by adjusting seat capacities abroad. if fares are very high, the airline authorities will allow more capacity, which will automatically reduce the fares.
