T20 World Cup final: Airfares go for a six as fans rush to Ahmedabad; special trains announced

AHMEDABAD: (Mar 7) Airfares on major routes to Ahmedabad, which will host the T20 World Cup final between favourites India and New Zealand on Sunday, have skyrocketed, with cricket fans flocking to the city.

The surge in travel demand has prompted the Indian Railways to introduce special trains to Ahmedabad, said officials on Saturday.

“Flights from Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and other cities have seen significant spikes in the airfares,” said Chairman of the Gujarat Tourism Development Society (GTDS) Manish Sharma.
