SpiceJet offers all-inclusive airfare of Rs1,999 on domestic routes
06 Sep 2014
No-frills carrier SpiceJet has launched two new slabs of competitive basic airfare rates, even as other Indian carriers extended dates for booking low-cost tickets over the past few days.
The low-cost one-way base fare tickets start at Rs599 for travel between 16 January and 24 October next year. This is exclusive of taxes and other fees and charges, barring fuel surcharge.
SpiceJet is also offering all-inclusive fares from Rs1,999 on travel between 7 October 2014 and 15 January 2015.
Ticket under both schemes can be bought till 10 September.
"SpiceJet has been one of the main drivers of demand stimulation and market growth this year... This demand stimulation has been a win-win, with airlines earning more revenues, with travellers getting fantastic deals, and with the travel industry and economy at large getting a boost," SpiceJet CEO Sanjiv Kapoor said.
The move by the no-frill carrier, which has been making such offers since January, comes in the wake of several foreign and Indian carriers vying with each other to attract Indian flyers by offering discounted tickets.
Air India, Jet Airways, IndiGo and GoAir have all come out with special offers in the recent past, with new airlines like Air Costa and AirAsia India also jumping on the bandwagon.
