If you have not planned your vacation, then plan it now as domestic airfares have witnessed a 30 per cent fall in comparison to last year's fares, according to an Economic Times report. The month of April has officially starts the vacation season on the country making the airfares go up but due to the neck and neck competition the airlines have not raised the fares now.
The report said that the Indian airlines are selling the domestic tickets at the cheapest rate in the world currently.
“We have seen a 29 per cent year-on-year drop in pricing for April and May travel in 2018 compared to 2017 for the top ten sectors. For 2018, average fare at Rs 3,292 is the lowest we have observed in the last three years,” the ET report quoted Balu Ramachandran, head of air and distribution at Cleartrip as saying.
The trend is “all the more significant as these fares are for a period that sees peak travel during summer holidays and we anticipate Indian travellers to make the most of these attractive fares,” the ET report quoted Mohit Gupta, chief operating officer at MakeMyTrip as saying.Lower airfares have resulted in increased spot booking; in April they have increased 54 per cent compared to last year, Gupta of MakeMyTrip told ET. Advance bookings are up 21 per cent year on year, and a massive 96 per cent when compared to April 2016, he added.
