GoAir offers discounted fares starting Rs 1,469

New Delhi: Aiming to stimulate demand during the lean period, Wadia Group-promoted budget carrier GoAir has said it is putting up 1.7 million seats for sale, offering fares as low as Rs 1,469 for travel next year with a five-day booking period starting Sunday.

The special offer is available on flights across the GoAir network for a travel period between January 1 and March 31, the airline said. Bookings under the offer can be made between December 21 and December 25, it said.

"The January-March quarter is traditionally a lean quarter... The purpose of introducing these fares is to make air travel affordable during the period," GoAir chief executive Giorgio De Roni told. 

Stating that lowering of ticket prices was not to trigger a fare war in the domestic skies, Mr De Roni said, "It is not an offer on lowest price or the cheapest price but to make it affordable and more attractive during the lean period."

GoAir is committed to offer the affordable fares that allow it to deliver a sustainable result, he said, adding "We can grow only when we are profitable and develop our network and the fleet."

He also said that the airline wants to be consistent with its pricing strategy.

The Mumbai-based airline operates across 22 destinations in the country with a fleet of 19 Airbus A320 aircraft.
