Domestic Flight Offers for Valentine Day

Travel industry witnesses a rise in its demand during festive seasons or special occasions. For instance, the number of air ticket bookings doubled or tripled during Diwali, Dussehra or New Year. To attract fliers, carriers come up with a number of domestic flight offers and discounts. SpiceJet has recently announced its Valentine Day offer. Under this, travellers can book domestic flight tickets for INR 1599 for many domestic destinations. After meeting financial challenges, this is the first offer rolled out by this Sun Group-owned low-cost carrier (LCC).

Current Status of SpiceJet

Now, flights to Goa, Mumbai and Delhi can be booked at discounted prices for travel dates falling between February 15 and April 15. The chief commercial officer of the airline said that the company is looking towards good results with this offer. It has been rolled out to celebrate the confidence bestowed on the carrier by the government, financial institutions and fliers. A few weeks before launching this scheme, the approval of the proposal to transfer of shares owned by Kalanithi Maran and his KAL Airways Private Limited to Ajay Singh was another big change in the management. Ajay Singh was co-founder of the company. It is expected that these revival plans will leave a positive impact on the business of this carrier, by pushing it on the right track.

Launch of New Flights

In addition to this, there is another good news for fliers. Vistara recently announced launch of its operation on two new routes; Hyderabad and Goa. As per reports, flights to Goa and Hyderabad will be commenced from February 20 and March 1, 2015, respectively. Apart from launching these new operations, it will also add capacity on the existing ones. The number of flights operated by Vistara will go up to 164 from 68, after these two new destinations are added in the list. This recently launched airline started its operations on January 9, 2015. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the airline said the company is delighted to announce these expansions and expects to benefit from the great potential that both these cities have to offer. He also mentioned that this step will help the carrier in strengthening its position in the market.
