New Delhi (PTI): The government has exclusive powers in extraordinary circumstances to cap airfares but it is not a single-way solution, Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu said on Friday amid rising concerns over high air ticket prices.

Replying to a debate on a private member's resolution on 'Resolutions: Appropriate Measures to Regulate Airfare in the Country' in the Lok Sabha, the minister also mentioned about non-availability of aircraft and that discussions are on to make planes in India.

The resolution, which was later withdrawn, was moved by Congress member Shafi Parambil.

There are multiple levels in the aviation ecosystem and various aspects, including the viability of airlines, he noted.
