Air Sahara re-launches ‘Sixer in Air’ scheme

NEW DELHI: After the Rs 2,300 crore takeover deal with Jet Airways fell through, Air Sahara on monday announced the re-launch of one of its competitive schemes, offering six economy flight coupons worth Rs 26,000, for travel on any domestic sector up to September 30.

The scheme ‘Sixer in Air’, which is inclusive of taxes, would imply that each ticket would cost Rs 3,808 plus taxes compared with a range of Rs 4,775-Rs 5,335 being offered by other full-service carriers. However, flights on two sectors — Delhi-Dibrugarh and Delhi-Cochin — would entail two tickets instead of one for other sectors. The scheme is open for sale till July 15, , after which the fare would be revised to Rs 31,500, inclusive of taxes and surcharge.

Soon after the deal with Jet Airways collapsed on June 21, Air Sahara had said it would launch services on its own.
