New Delhi: Travelling by air clubbed with the festival season seems to have become the latest obsession with Indians and all major carriers are doling out festive schemes to shore up passenger volumes.
Airlines are going all out to increase load factors, tie-ups with hotels, travel agencies and travel sites.
Special discount fares, cash back schemes and lucky draws are just some of the incentives that airlines hope will help boost their numbers.
Low-cost players like GoAir are bombarding passengers with offers like GoCrazy which means one can get a ticket to any destination for as little as Rs 600.
GoAir is also offering 50,000 tickets for as low as Rs 525 to major tourist destinations.
Competitors Spice and Indigo are also giving out tickets for Rs 499 onwards on all routes. In addition to the no frills onslaught, schedule airlines like Indian are vying for space with their overseas discount trump card, the desh-videsh service.
