In case of a long-haul journey, air travel is often the first choice of travellers. However, now people book cheapest airfare available, in case of they have to cover short journeys like one city to another. With the advent of low-cost carriers (LCCs), this trend is growing day by day. Apart from being time effective, the services provided by airlines and discount on ticket prices allure travellers to book tickets with them. Recently, AirAsia introduced tickets at just INR 1290 on a number of domestic routes. The offer included an all inclusive ticket with the LCC to different destinations below INR 1300 for a travel period between 5th September and 11th December.
This Malaysia-based carrier has recently initiated its operations in India and is the first foreign airline to set up its business in the country. It currently caters to most of the South Indian cities, and launched a Bangalore-Jaipur-Chandigarh flight just a few weeks back. It may soon start operating flights to Amritsar, Lucknow and other North Indian cities in the coming months. This three-way venture between Telestra Tradeplace, AirAsia Berhad and Tata Group is emerging as one of the toughest competitors to LCCs already operating in the country in terms of pricing that leads to fare war.
A few days back SpiceJet gave out tickets at a base or INR 499, followed by all-inclusive tickets at just 1999. The LCC gave tickets for just 1887 to many destinations for almost a week as promotional offer. These flash sales have increased the number travellers booking a flight along with increasing the load factor. These offers mutually benefits passengers as well as airlines; hence, is a win-win situation for both and as a result, it has been quite successful since last years.
