The odd part
The government has solved ticket price inflation by making the product free, effectively turning every flight into a flying community kitchen where the paying 40% subsidize the oxygen for the other 60%.
What happened
In a historic move to curb 'surge pricing,' the Ministry of Civil Aviation has mandated that 60% of all airline seats must be distributed free of charge. While airlines argue about the physics of fuel costs, the Ministry has clarified that 'faith and national pride' provide enough lift for any Airbus. Passengers are now encouraged to treat boarding passes like lottery tickets, though the 'free' seats do not include luxuries like seatbelts or the right to complain when the plane stops at a bus stand in mid-air.
