Mumbai: In order to celebrate its alliance with Indian Airlines creating
National Aviation Company of India Limited, Air India offered its
tickets for Rs 100 to passengers. But this resulted in major surge in
traffic on the web portal www.airindia.com before the website eventually
crashed.
The website went down, with a message on the website that stated 'Service Unavailable'.
The sale of these tickets will start from August 27 and close on August 31, a five-day booking for travel during the period of August 27 to September 30. However, the booking has to be done only through the airline's website, which is not accessible currently.
The base fare of tickets would be Rs 100 with added taxes and other charges extra starting Wednesday. The airline website has not been functioning since midnight of 27th August and was not functioning even when this report was published.
Air India will be celebrating its merger with Indian Airlines as 'Air India Day' on Wednesday where it will award meritorious employees of the airline.
