SpiceJet Continues Fare War, Announces Another Flash Sale

Budget carrier SpiceJet on Saturday continued the low-fare war, announcing another flash sale with an-all inclusive one-way fares starting as low as Rs 1,899 for two days.

The bookings under the offer '#FebHurry' start on Saturday, the airline said in a release, while offering travel period of up to February 28.

"Booking tickets at the last minute is almost always an expensive affair. So here is an offer that makes immediate travel affordable and allows you to make that last minute dash," said SpiceJet chief commercial officer Kaneswaran Avili.

Domestic carriers have announced a series of discounted ticket schemes in the past few weeks to attract customers in the March quarter of the fiscal which is traditionally considered a low travel demand period.

From SpiceJet itself, which faced aviation regulator's rebuke last year for a deluge of such discount offers including the one wherein it reduced the fares to just Rs 1, this is the third sale scheme in this week.

Earlier in the week, GoAir had introduced a Valentine's Day discount scheme for select destinations. This scheme offers one-way fares as low as Rs 1,499 and is valid for travel till April 15. (Read: GoAir Joins Fare War With Rs 1,499 Offer)
