Your air travel just became costlier!

February 10, 2009

Domestic air travellers will now have to pay more, with major airlines saying on Tuesday that they have withdrawn the low base fares like those rated at Rs 99, and some no-frill carriers deciding to follow suit over the next few days.

Air India, Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines have decided to stop the low-fare advance purchase schemes, saying the airfares would now be decided by the market. However, the regular fares and the fuel surcharge are not being touched, spokespersons of these airlines said.
