Pahalgam attack: Airlines operate 59 return flights from Srinagar, govt says airfares kept in check

A total of 59 flights, including seven additional services, were operated from Srinagar on Wednesday to facilitate the return of tourists and the transportation of the bodies of 25 victims of the Pahalgam terror attack, along with 123 accompanying family members. The Civil Aviation Ministry said the airfares on the Srinagar route were being maintained at reasonable levels amid a spike in demand following Tuesday’s attack, the deadliest in Jammu and Kashmir since the 2019 Pulwama incident. At least 26 people, most of them tourists, were killed in the attack.
