New Taxiing Methods will allow Cheaper Booking of Go Air Domestic Flights

Whenever passengers book flight tickets with a low-cost carrier (LCC), they expect the airfare to be as cheap as possible. The name budget airline has become associated with such LCCs because of the fact that they offer lesser flight fares as compared to other on same routes. Such has been the expectations that sometimes these carriers offer dirt-cheap rates for keeping fliers interested. However, it is extremely expensive to run an airline, more so if the fleet size is huge and if it operates to several destinations. The question is how these carriers afford to offer such unbelievable ticket prices even under such circumstances. It is pretty simple; they just look to cut their costs of flying by almost any means, reducing expenses here, applying some smart tactics there. All these techniques allow them to squeeze out better rates, thus travellers always stay interested. This is the secret of the success story of LCCs globally.

Utilisation of Electric System during Taxiing

GoAir, the aviation foray of Wadia Group, is a popular LCC operating in India. Most people who look forward to travel within the nation opts for Go Air domestic flights. This carrier has recently hit upon an idea to reduce its cost of flying. It has decided to support the implementation of the EGTS or Electric Taxiing System. This technological advancement is expected to save airlines almost 4 per cent of the fuel utilisation on each journey. The usage of electrical motors allows aircraft to taxi automatically without using the engines. Pushing the flights back is done by these motors instead of the engines, thus they can be turned off while taxiing. Thus, lesser consumption of fuel during the whole process and leading to lesser expenses is guaranteed. Such tactics are constantly applied by leading LCCs to hit upon a methodology to reduce their expenses, thus offering lower airfare.
