Mumbai: A day after budget carrier SpiceJet announced fares starting at Rs 499 across its domestic network, Jet Airways has also jumped on the bandwagon rolling out Rs 500 fare for the economy class on domestic flights for a limited period.
The all-inclusive fares of the Mumbai-headquartered carrier start from Rs 500 excluding statutory taxes. Customers will be able to enjoy these discounts across all destinations on the airlines’ domestic network, Jet Airways said in a release.
Bookings under the offer, however, can be made only in two days starting from Wednesday, the airline said. The scheme is for travel from January 16, 2015. Jet further said the offer is valid for travel only on direct flights on its domestic network and does not cover group bookings.
Meanwhile, IndiGo on Tuesday rolled out fares starting from an all-inclusive Rs 999. This promotional offer is available on bookings of 90 days or more in advance of the travel date.
SpiceJet, which has been rolling out heavy discounts on its ticket prices starting January this year, had on Monday claimed to have sold more than one lakh tickets in a single day under its Rs 499 scheme.
