Air India’s special offer for Oct 10
Chandigarh, October 7
It will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who wish to travel from the city to Srinagar on October 10 as the fare to be charged by Air India that day is equal to the fare of Volvo buses for the 650-km journey. According to sources, this Rs-1,584 fare will be a one-time offer.
Air India also operates as a second line of transport between the city and the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir for the men in olive green.
Between 50 and 60 seats are vacant in the Air India flight, which will take off at 12:30 pm. These are now being offered to civilians planning to visit Srinagar.
Confirming this, Air India station manager MR Jindal has said this will be a temporary exercise as a few seats are available.
The aeroplane has a capacity of 172 seats, of which 152 are in the economy class and 20 in the executive class. Air India will charge only for a one-way journey.
According to sources, there is no proposal to start a new flight from Chandigarh to Srinagar in view of the financial crunch being faced by Air India.
A survey is being conducted to know its feasibility, but there the possibility of starting it is remote as the company is not able to pay salaries to its employees for months together.
The private airliner Kingfisher, which has been running into huge losses, has already decided to discontinue its economy class Kingfisher Red flights.
