Air India slashes fare upto 82%

Air India is slashing prices! Seriously. The carrier is cutting ticket prices by up to 82% in a move to match fare cuts announced by rivals Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines.


"The new fare cut comes into effect today (Tuesday). We have cut fares on 20 sectors by up to 82 per cent. This will largely benefit passengers on metro routes," an airline spokesperson told reporters.

India's leading private air carrier Jet Airways Monday reduced fares on its domestic routes by up to 40 percent with immediate effect.

This will seriously bite into the business of low-cost carriers, as the big airlines are now low-cost airlines as well.

Either they have been way overcharging passengers or this price war will leave some filing for bankruptcy pretty soon.
