Peak capitalism In the aftermath of the recent terror attacks in Pahalgam, an - a sharp surge in flight prices from Srinagar to Delhi. What was once a ₹14,000 ticket is now soaring beyond ₹68,000, marking an astronomical increase of over 385%. While airlines may justify this through the lens of the classic demand-supply model, the timing and scale of the price hike paint a much darker picture. At a time when families are desperate to return home, and tourists are scrambling to ensure their safety, this blatant surge pricing feels less like economic logic and more like exploitation of fear and urgency. What’s even more shocking is that this comes despite an appeal by the Union Civil Aviation Minister, who urged airlines not to impose surge fares during such a sensitive period. Yet, instead of stability or restraint, prices continue to climb—unchecked, unapologetic, and ruthless.
