Budget carrier IndiGo on Thursday announced all-inclusive fares starting Rs 1,499 to take on its rival SpiceJet, which has come up with a series of discounted offers over the past two weeks. IndiGo's starting price for air tickets is priced Rs 100 lower than SpiceJet's 'Special Valentine' Rs 1,599 offer.
Seats under IndiGo's promotional offer, however, are available on select routes such as Delhi-Jaipur and are valid on bookings made 90 days before travel date. SpiceJet's promotional offer, open till February 6, is applicable on travel between February 14 and April 15, 2015.
The trend for massive discounts on airfares was started by SpiceJet last year and it seems that the new management led by co-founder Ajay Singh is comfortable with the airline's aggressive strategy. SpiceJet's 'Super Sale' offer for 5 lakh seats, announced on January 28, resulted in a whopping 400 per cent jump in bookings, the airline has claimed.
Loss-making SpiceJet was grounded briefly in December 2014 because of a cash crunch. IndiGo, one of the few profitable airlines, is India's biggest carrier by market share.
