According to the president of IndiGo, Aditya Ghosh, there is an increase in the flow of business and tourist traffic in recent months and to tap this opportunity, they have introduced these new services. In addition, the airline has also launched a second daily flight to Varanasi from Bengaluru and Mumbai (non-stop) as well as to Pune from Ahmedabad. It has also started operating one new flight each from Mumbai to Goa and Delhi to Lucknow to meet the increasing demand in the market. Travellers can book IndiGo flights to these destinations online in order to get more benefits like pre-seat selection.

IndiGo PNR Status

Another feature of the PNR number generated with an IndiGo booking is that it can be used to get updates on the schedule of the flight for which the ticket has been booked. This is helpful to check whether the flight is on time or is delayed or cancelled due to weather conditions or other reasons as it can be quite stressful for people to wait at the airport.

Now, with IndiGo online booking available for 647 daily flights, most travellers in India are finding it quite convenient and economical to take the air services option. 

Impact of New Rules on Air Ticket Fare

Technologies used in the aviation industry, including ingeniously designed engines, navigation tools and in-flight amenities have been replaced with new ones. Earlier, most of the metro cities were served by various airlines, but now flights to Bhopal, Varanasi, Lucknow and many other II as well as III tier cities can be availed as well. In addition to this, management strategies have also been revised to meet the dynamic market challenges and this is the reason that some changes are needed in aviation rules also. Although, a number of new regulations have been introduced, but old ones can also be seen revised in the coming months.

In response to issues regarding licences to Malaysia-based AirAsia and soon to be launched Vistara for global operation, the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) commented on the 5/20 rule. As per this rule, every airline set up in India needs to have a fleet size of at least 20 aircraft and must complete 5 years of operation, then only licence for international operation will be given to it. However, FIA, formed back in 2006 by Air India, SpiceJet, GoAir, IndiGo and Jet Airways, resisted this policy and said that it needs to be changed. A few months back, this law was asked to be waived off, but the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) kept it intact.

However, one of the DGCA ministers said that no other country follows this rule; hence, it can be removed from the list pre-requisite conditions. The relevance of this law has been lost because of increased safety standards and application of the latest technologies as well as attempt of global operators to cater niche markets of various countries. The Associate Chambers of Commerce (ASSOCHAM) also released a paper mentioning that this policy of government has no logic in the current market scenario. This policy was drawn almost a decade back, and many new carriers have entered in the industry since then, as well as the country has undergone significant changes regarding air travel demands, since then. Today, air ticket fare is almost half of what it used to be 10 years back.

Choosing IndiGo Booking for Reliability

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) recently revealed the second quarter result and IndiGo has managed to retain the first position with more than 31 per cent market share. The fleet size of around 79 aircraft includes technically advanced models, such as Airbus A320. It caters more than 35 destinations with over 510 flights every day. This low-cost carrier (LCC) is first choice of people while flight ticket booking because of top-notch services provided by it. As per studies, it is one of the most reliable carriers of the nation.

In terms of punctuality and reliability, it is considered the best among all the domestic carriers. IndiGo booking has seen an upsurge in recent years as it introduced lowest possible cost along with maintaining the quality of its services. The tremendous increase in the number of fliers with this LCC is not just because of the high-quality services, but because of its ability to schedule flights on time also. It has been named as one of the most reliable service providers in the Indian aviation industry as per research done by experts. The criterion involved the percentage of flights that were delayed, diverted, cancelled and on time.

Although, SpiceJet has surpassed this LCC in terms of seat occupancy and the number customers gained in the month of July. However, IndiGo still leads in qualitative aspects such as customer satisfaction. Reviews on social networking sites and travel portals are all positive with plenty of praises regarding the food quality and other amenities. The national airline – Air India – falls between SpiceJet and IndiGo, which means it is giving satisfactory services to passengers. However, there are several areas in which the flag carrier can improve the rating. There may be a situation where market equations may drastically change on arrival of new aircraft ordered by different LCCs.
