Carriers’ bonanza for air travellers

New Delhi: National carrier Air India and leading aviation market player IndiGo on Thursday unveiled cheaper fare promotional schemes of their own, soon after SpiceJet announced its ‘Rs 1 offer’ that evoked a tremendous response from passengers. However, SpiceJet later had top abide by DGCA’s instructions after it was seen violating aviation norms over the sale of tickets on the Rs 1 offer.
“Air India has launched a Short Term Monsoon Bonanza from April 3, 2014 to April 5, 2014. The travel period for the tickets under this scheme will be (upto) September 30, 2014. The sale is on select domestic legs of international flights and select domestic flights. The scheme covers 40 sectors on 108 flights. The tickets under the scheme are priced at a flat rate of Rs 1,499 plus applicable taxes,” Air India said, in a statement.
While a functionary representing Indigo was unavailable for comment on IndiGo’s own offer, travel website Yatra.com said “Indigo has also announced a sale for limited sectors”.
