NEW DELHI: On the eve of the New Year, the newly-merged Air India on Monday announced three new schemes, including one in which a passenger can get a free return ticket to a foreign destination if he or she flies 25 times by the airline between six metros between January and March.
The 'Touch 25' scheme, which is applicable to those travelling 25 times between January one and March 31 between Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore, would be entitled to a free return ticket for self or nominee in economy class to New York or London or Shanghai from Delhi and Mumbai, an Air India spokesperson said.
Another scheme allows travel from March one to April 15 on a major part of the airline's domestic route network at a price of Rs 999 plus taxes and levies, totalling Rs 1,875. The tickets at this rate have to be bought between January five and January 20, the spokesperson said.
The third scheme, called 'Touch West', is aimed at the frequent fliers. Three round trips on Air India between India and the UK, Europe, US or Canada in First or Business Class between January one and March 31 will fetch a passenger a week's unlimited travel in Business Class domestic sectors.
The seven-day travel period would begin from the day of the first flight and end seven days thereon. During the week, the passenger may fly on any domestic sector.
These schemes are the first three announced by the national carrier after its merger.
The merged entity now operates nearly 400 flights daily with a 140 aircraft-fleet, covering 120 destinations and 39 countries. Air India recently became the first airline from India to be invited to join the major global grouping, Star Alliance.
