Air Deccan to offer more tickets for Rs 500

Bangalore: India’s first low-cost airline will restructure its fares beginning April this year. The airline will soon offer a variety of fares including more tickets for Rs 500. The fares will vary for different flights on the same sector depending on which flight one is catching.
A Friday afternoon flight or a 7 am flight, for example, would be peak flights and hence would be expensive. The fares of non-peak flights would be cheaper. “The idea is to differentiate between the busy and non-busy flights and offer fares accordingly,” Air Deccan chief operating officer Warwick Brady.
He informed that the new fare system is expected to rake in about 15 to 20 per cent higher revenue for the airline. Also, while 50 per cent of the tickets will have low fares, the remaining will have higher fares. Yet, it would be cheaper than fares offered by airlines such as Jet Airways and Indian Airlines.
