Mumbai : The badly bruised Air India (AI) is now gradually achieving normalcy in operations by offering special fares to woo flyers.
The airline is dumping its inventory in the lowest slab so that maximum passengers grab the offer. The special fare offer is on till May 12 and travel is valid for a month.
The lowest slab basic fare for the Mumbai-Delhi trunk route on short notice comes for as low as Rs 453 though passengers would need to shell out additional amounts towards fuel surcharge and taxes as charged by airlines.
Most of the low fares are getting sold out as the fares are competitive.
For example, a Mumbai-Delhi AI ticket for onward travel on May 12 and return on May 13 costs Rs 12,670 while it costs Rs 12,528 on Jet Airways Konnect, the low-fare arm of Jet Airways. Air India is a full service airline.
Similarly, in the non-peak Mumbai-Bhubaneswar sector an AI ticket for onward travel on May 14 and return on May 16 costs Rs 13,880. This is compared to Rs 12,648 charged by Kingfisher Red, the low-cost arm of Kingfisher Airlines.
