Jet Airways set the ball rolling when it slashed its fares on all its major routes by nearly half in the economy class. The difference between its fares and rail travel is just a few hundreds of rupees. Headlining its new tariff as ‘Everyone Can Fly’, the fare reduction applies to 37 sectors including the high-density Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Kolkatta, Delhi-Chennai, Delhi-Pune, Delhi-Hyderabad and Delhi Bangalore routes. The new tariff will be in force from August 1 to October 31. A Delhi-Mumbai ticket will be Rs. 3,920 instead of the prevailing Rs. 6,095. A trip from Delhi to Kolkatta will cost Rs. 2,860 instead of Rs. 6,925 and one can hop across from Delhi to Ahmedabad by paying only Rs. 2,462 instead of Rs. 4,780. To keep up with the Joneses, Indian Airlines too has announced a lower fare structure on some of its major routes on economy travel but the condition is that the tickets have to be bought 15 days in advance. Details of the rates are yet to be announced. Air India too has followed suit and is planning a lower fare structure on its domestic segments. According to Air India Managing Director J. N. Gogoi, Air India’s fares depend on Indian Airlines on the common routes. There were indications that the Air India fares would be lower than both Jet Airways and Indian Airlines. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
