A possible sign of things to come for Amazon: the e-commerce giant has quietly introduced flight search and booking on its platform in India.
The service is only for flights within India at the moment and is powered by domestic online travel agency, Cleartrip.
Amazon is expected to outline further details regarding the service early next week.
The integration works through the Amazon Pay section in the site, where members can select services ranging from utility bills to gift cards.
A "Flights" button is now featured alongside and takes users to the white label version of the OTA's existing flight functionality.
Carriers such as AirAsia, IndiGo, Air India and GoAir are shown in the search results.

A 15% cashback offer is currently in play and is redeemed when users complete the booking.
The emergence of a flight booking tool comes amid ongoing speculation that Amazon will make a concerted effort to re-enter the travel space.
