New Delhi/Mumbai: With the peak travel season coming to an end, Indian carriers, including Air India, on Monday triggered a fare war offering limited period low-priced tickets across several sectors within the country.
SpiceJet was offering 50 % off on base fares on tickets booked on select flights at least 30 days prior to travel (which can be purchased till January 23), while its no-frill competitors - IndiGo and GoAir - launched a similar scheme slashing fares by 30-50 % for advance purchases on its websites.
Air India launched a short term 'SpringSale' of up to 50 % on all domestic sectors of its network, while a Jet Airways spokesperson said no such decision has been taken so far.
Air India said its promotional scheme would be up for sale from tomorrow till January 24 and valid for travel between February 21 and April 15. These fares, which would be as low as Rs 1,357 including taxes, would cover all domestic sectors of the national carrier.
