In a bid to more fliers, national carrier Air India has decided to lower its last minute ticket fares to the level of 2-tier AC of Rajdhani trains.
 
Air India Chairman and Managing Director Ashwani Lohani said the move is aimed at providing relief to the passengers from last minute sky-rocketing fares and also to fill the vacant seats.
 
"Our objective is to fill these remaining seats as well. This can be achieved with such affordable fares. In addition, this would also help us increase our passengers' revenue," Lohani added.
 
However, the offer will benefit only those people who had booked on Rajdhani Express but could not get a confirmed ticket.
 
These tickets can either be booked at airport ticket counters or at Air India's website within four hours of the departure time of the flight.
 
The routes on which Air India has dropped fares are – Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Chennai, Delhi-Kolkata, and Delhi-Bengaluru.
 
A Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani AC II-Tier ticket costs Rs 2,870, while Delhi-Chennai Rs 3,905. The fare of second AC Rajdhani ticket for Delhi-Kolkata is Rs 2,890 and Rs 4,095 for Delhi-Bengaluru Rajdhani.
 
This is not the first time when Air India has reduced its airfare to attract fliers.
 
Last month, state-run Air India had launched a scheme to fly unconfirmed passengers of Rajdhani trains at the fares matching with the AC first class ticket prices.
 
Under the 'Super Saver' scheme, which started on June 26, passengers of Rajdhani Express trains who have a wait-listed ticket could book four hours prior to the flight departure at a fare which matches with the ticket price of 1st AC Rajdhani trains.
