The discounts announced by airlines recently have given a push to the aviation industry, with big online travel portals witnessing a three times increase in sales.
“We have witnessed up to three times increase in booking on our website. Since discounts are being offered by all airlines, bookings are across carriers,” said Keyur Joshi, chief operating officer at Makemytrip.com, one of India’s largest travel portals.
On Monday, low-cost carrier SpiceJet announced a ‘Super Summer Sale’ for customers who book within the next three days, for travel between April 1 and June 30. Under this offer, customers will get up to 75 per cent discount on base fare plus fuel surcharge, relative to last minute bookings (i.e. bookings that are made within seven days of travel).
