The festival of Diwali is near, and on this occasion, there is good news for air travelers. This year the airfares on many domestic routes have come down by 20-25 percent. This decline is due to increased flights by airlines and a reduction in oil prices. This is giving passengers a good opportunity to travel at cheaper rates, which will make their journey easy and pleasant.

Reason for a reduction in rent

There are many reasons for the reduction in fares. One reason is that airlines have started more flights. This has increased the number of seats. The second reason is that oil prices have come down.
