The mega ticket sale offered by private sector carrier - Jet Airways seems to have taken off successfully. The airline had put on block around 20 lakh seats at around 50 percent discount for bookings done from February 21 to 24.
Though the airline has not given out any statistics on the quantum of tickets sold, online travel portals claim to have disposed off their share of inventory.
The airline's spokesperson said that the company is still collating data on tickets sold during sale period and will get back on the query soon.
However, travel websites are gung-ho about selling good volumes last week. "Jet Air's discounted fare scheme received tremendous response from customers. Our ticket sales almost doubled post announcements by various airlines," said Keyur Joshi, co-founder and chief commercial officer at makemytrip.com.
