GoAir challenge: get cheaper ticket and we pay
double New Delhi: GoAir, the
Wadia group owned low-cost airline, Friday unleashed
another price war in the Indian aviation market by
offering to pay double the price difference if a
customer gets a cheaper airline ticket.
'If a
customer flying on any domestic airline gets a better
fare than a GoAir customer on routes GoAir operates in,
he or she gets twice the difference in reimbursed
fares,' the airline's managing director Jeh Wadia
said.
'GoAir will also reimburse the cost of
cancellation - done immediately - of the other airline's
ticket as credit, which can be used to purchase GoAir
tickets,' Wadia told a press conference at which he
announced the 'The GoAir Challenge'.
The
scheme aims to simplify decision making for passengers
in the complex world of fares. 'This challenge will give
the customer value for money which no other airline
offers,' he said.
The airline also announced
the addition of its latest Airbus A-320 aircraft to its
fleet, which is under a deal with the Board of Control
for Cricket in India (BCCI) to fly the Indian and
English teams in the ongoing one-day international
series.
Unveiling GoAir's business plans,
Wadia said it will have five more aircraft in operation
by the yearend with a target of 33 by the end of 2008.
GoAir had ordered 20 aircraft from Airbus Industrie in
Singapore last month.
The airline will link
Delhi with Chennai and Mumbai daily from April 3 at
convenient timings and also commence operations on the
Mumbai-Jammu-Srinagar sector. The airline currently
covers 14 cities with 28 flights.
