NEW DELHI : Full-service airline Vistara is offering passengers return daily tickets to Singapore and Bangkok for flights from Delhi at all-inclusive fares starting ₹16,499. Southeast Asia is an attractive destination for many Indians looking for value-for-money travel.
Similarly, budget carrier and India’s largest airline Indigo is offering flights to Phuket at return fares starting ₹14,406.
The aggressive push by domestic carriers to sell cheaper international flight tickets comes at a time when domestic air travel is slowing down. The second half of the financial year otherwise also happens to be a busy season for air travel.
Domestic air passenger traffic declined for the third consecutive month in August even though on a year-on basis it grew. Hit by market uncertainties in a slowing economy and a lean travel season, domestic scheduled carriers carried 11.79 million passengers last month, compared with 11.90 million in July, showed data issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Thursday.
A third airline, AirAsia India, has also launched a 'Big Sale' offer in which it is offering flight tickets for as low as ₹899 for domestic travel. Passengers flying with AirAsia to domestic destinations can now avail exciting offers during the 3-day long sale period that started today, i.e. 24th September. For AirAsia 'Big Sale' offer, tickets can be booked at airasia.com or the AirAsia mobile app from September 23-26. This offer will be valid for travel between 10 February and 15 December 2020, AirAsia noted.
