T.S. Shankar
ECONOMY FARE: Air India Express has arrived.
CHENNAI:
Chennaites' wait to fly by budget airline Air India Express (AIE) is over. The `no frills' airline is entering the domestic sector with a low fare offer.
A release from J.V.J. Subramaniam, District Sales Manager, Air India, says Air India Express is offering a one-way fare of Rs.999 (plus taxes) from Chennai to Mumbai on its Saturday flights. Booking can be done through the website www.airindiaexpress.in. A Mumbai-bound passenger who wishes to travel in the all-economy 185-seater AIE jet would have to pay Rs.1,649, including travel tax of Rs.650.
AIE, a subsidiary of Air India, claims that it offers the lowest fares in the market.
A trial run was made last Saturday through Chennai. The service will begin this Saturday. The new AIE Mumbai-Chennai-Mumbai service would leave Mumbai every Saturday at 8 p.m., reach Chennai at 9.45 p.m., leave Chennai at 10.45 p.m. and reach Mumbai at 00.35 a.m. on Sunday.
The service is expected to be a boon for those who have always wanted to fly to India's business and fashion capital, at low cost.
