Fare cut unlikely on international routes: Jet Airways

Jet Airways which cut domestic fares up to 40 per cent last month said that it has no plans to slash fares on international routes. “We don’t have any proposal right now to cut fares on our international routes,” said A.K. Sivanandan, General Manager- Public Relations, Jet Airways. According to an IANS report, echoing similar sentiments another airline official stated that Indian carriers were unlikely to cut international fares as they already offer ‘competitive fares.’ Air India and Kingfisher Airlines are also looking at offering concessions and other incentive schemes on international flights like the 'free companion travel' announced recently by Jet Airways.

Besides Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines and Air India also announced fare cuts on domestic routes following downward revision of jet fuel prices.
