Mumbai: The airfare wars are back. And it is a good thing for fliers — as long as you don’t cancel the ticket. If you do, then it’s a good thing only for the airline.
In a surprise move on Tuesday, Jet Airways, India’s second-largest domestic airline, announced a nationwide sale of low-fare, one-way tickets during a six-day offer that opened on Tuesday.
As many as 20 lakh economy seats to 57 destinations, all to be used before December 31, 2013, are being offered at one-third discount.
In early January, budget carrier SpiceJet had put 1 million seats on sale for Rs2,103, which got a massive response, generating over Rs170 crore for the company in a matter of days.
