Times of India, in partnership with DPA, reports the launch of a flight price tracking tool focused on domestic routes in India. It uses an “Airline Price Index” to monitor daily fluctuations in airfares, aiming to show how prices move over time.
The outlet says the tracker also includes a “Fare Timing Index,” which looks at how ticket prices change based on when a passenger books. Times of India highlights that pricing is influenced by factors such as departure time and the day of the week, which can affect the cost of flights.
Across the provided coverage, the emphasis is on using the indexes as informational tools rather than making predictions, with the stated goal of helping travellers better understand airfare dynamics. The reporting frames the indexes as a way to observe broader patterns linked to demand and pricing strategies, alongside timing-related changes in fares as booking dates approach departure.
