Cheaper crude oil prices have enabled domestic airlines to roll out aggressive discounts for passengers. Last week, GoAir, Jet Airways, Vistara and Air Costa had also announced discount offers on the eve of the 69th Independence Day.
Jet fuel prices have fallen by nearly 40% from a high of about Rs.80,000/kl last year. In the latest cut, aviation turbine fuel prices (ATF) have been reduced by 9.5%, or Rs.4,860, to Rs.46,407/kl.
