The Wadia Group-owned airline – GoAir – is one of the few carriers of the country showing positive consistency in its financial books. This low-cost carrier (LCC) is one of the most efficient service providers, known for offering economical seat reservation options. Recently, it has announced discount on fares of its extensive network route, including flights to Indore, Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai. It currently operates more than 140 flights everyday from its primary hub at Indira Gandhi International Airport of New Delhi and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport at Mumbai. The carrier recently started operations in Odisha, and also received the delivery of 20th aircraft. Now, it has joined the league of carriers that stand at par with the 5/20 article of aviation laws.
This law states that airlines can operate on international routes only if they are carrying operations since five years in the country, and own at least or more than 20 aircraft. Just after completion of both the criterion, GoAir started planning its global operations. As per reports, the carrier may initially be launching flights for short and medium-haul journeys in the first quarter of the coming year. For time being, discounts are applicable on domestic flights only. This flash sale includes around 17 lakh tickets for various destinations lying all across the country. The lowest ticket price is INR 1469 for the journeys falling in the time period between January and March. Discounted prices for many destinations are equivalent to second or third AC bookings in trains. Over a dozen such sales were launched by carriers in the entire year as a result of the fare war. Commenting on this, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the carrier said that these price cut will not lead to repetition of any such situation as these fares are not extremely low. In addition, he said that the company has introduced this offer to make travel affordable in these months. Air traffic is usually low in these lean months as people just return after celebrating Christmas and New Year. Travellers can make flight tickets booking between 21st and 25 December to avail these economical fares.
