Industry NEW DELHI: The Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI) has criticised the decision of the domestic airlines to levy a "congestion charge". "This decision is inexplicable in view of the fact that the domestic airlines seem to be engaged in a fierce advertising war to publicise the lowest fares," Mr Praveen Chugh, president of TAFI said in a release here on Friday. He said it was deplorable that the airlines continued to mislead the public by advertising ostensibly low fares while leaving out the surcharges, which were substantial, and which every passenger would have to pay at the time of ticketing. "TAFI firmly believes that all surcharges -- fuel, insurance, congestion etc -- which are not legitimate government taxes, form an inalienable part of operating costs and must necessarily be included in the published fare advertised by airlines," he said . - PTI
