<h1>Civil aviation ministry orders airlines to add flights, resume service and cap fares to repatriate stranded passengers</h1> Following temporary closure of an international airport due to unrest, the civil aviation ministry coordinated with two airlines to operate additional flights and resume scheduled services to repatriate stranded passengers; airlines were directed to keep fares within reasonable levels. The action reflects use of regulatory authority to restore connectivity and protect consumer interests, with potential legal considerations including airline obligations to passengers, fare regulation under consumer protection and aviation rules, and coordination responsibilities of state agencies during emergencies. Continued monitoring and enforcement of fare and passenger assistance requirements may follow.
