Minister of state for civil aviation Jayant Sinha, on Tuesday, compared the price of air travel with that of autorickshaw travel and said the former was cheaper than the latter. However, later in the day, he clarified that he didn’t imply people travel by planes for short distances.

Sinha said, “Today airfare is less than that of an autorickshaw. You’ll ask how is that possible? When two people take an autorickshaw they pay a fare of Rs 10 which means they’re charged Rs 5 per kilometre, but when you go by air you are charged Rs 4 per kilometer.

Later in day, Sinha said, “On a per-kilometre basis our airfare is among lowest in the world. I am not implying you use planes for short distances. It’s just to emphasize how affordable the fares are that when you compare them with other means of transport, you find that they’re quite affordable.”
