New State-owned LCC, Air India Express, to commence service from Oct 1
03 Jul 2007
According to AI officials, tickets will be priced at levels comparable to those offered by other LCCs, and it would also offer meals on board. This may likely assume the pattern adopted by American airline Southwest, where passengers pick up packets even as they enter the aircraft.
According to current plans, the airline will target trunk routes between metros, as also sectors not adequately covered by full service carriers.
