IndiGo, Go Air and Jet Airways have joined the airfare war started by SpiceJet by offering low fares in some of their routes. While IndiGo is offering all inclusive low fares starting Rs.1,799 in 90 days advance purchase scheme, Go Air has come out with a Valentine’s Day offer starting one way fare of Rs.1,499 for travel till April 15.

Full service airline Jet Airways is competing with low cost airlines by offering low fares starting Rs.1,599 in domestic routes. Tickets under this scheme need to be booked on or before February 6, for travel valid between February 14 and April 15. The sharp 33 per cent reduction in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) in the past few months has helped airlines to control their losses and come out with promotional offers to lure passengers.
