Who decides what your air ticket costs?
Every day, in markets across India, someone decides what an air ticket will cost, how many seats will fly a route, which bidder will win a public tender, whether two firms will merge, or on what terms a platform will let a seller reach its customers.
When IndiGo cancelled flights on a large scale in early December 2025, the Competition Commission of India directed an investigation into whether the airline had imposed unfair conditions on passengers and limited the supply of air travel, and in 2026 it invited public comments on the commitments the airline offered (Kartikeya Rawal v InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, Case No 44 of 2025).
This book explains the economics and the law that govern such decisions, so that you can read a case, test an argument and advise with confidence.
