Fares slashed for amnesty-seekers

Indian national carriers Air India Express and Indian Airlines yesterday announced they had slashed one-way fares to Indian destinations.
The announcement, especially for amnesty-seekers, came during an Open House organised at the Indian Embassy in Adliya.
"The new fares would be available only to those who take advantage of the general amnesty scheme and would end on December 31," said Indian Ambassador Balkrishna Shetty.
"This is a tremendous offer and we are grateful to the management of the now-merged carriers," he said.
The special fares, available only at the airlines' booking offices, would be from Bahrain to Mumbai, Cochin, Trivandrum, Calicut and Mangalore by Air India Express (AIE) while Indian Airlines (IA) would offer special fares to Calicut and Cochin, the two destinations it operates to.
The AIE (all inclusive) fare to Mumbai, Cochin and Trivandrum has been pegged at BD59.800 while its fare to Calicut is BD69.800. The fare to Mangalore has been fixed at BD74.800, Mr Shetty said.
He said the IA fare to both Calicut and Cochin has been fixed at BD93.
