Two people familiar with the matter said the airlines are considering introducing special discounted fares for passengers who choose to fly with only their carry-on luggage.
Only Cabin Bag fare will be applicable.
The cheaper fares will benefit about 40% of domestic travelers, such as small businessmen and corporate executives, on short trips and encourage them to travel more often instead of staying in hotels. Indian airlines are studying the market to see which routes make more sense to offer such fares.
Domestic flight will be cheaper.
Currently, the lowest airfare offer on most domestic routes includes provision of a cabin bag up to 8 kg and check-in baggage weighing 15-25 kg, and no Indian airline offers Cabin Bag Fare Only .
IndiGo will start soon.
India’s largest domestic airline Indigo said it is considering the plan. Responding to a query, an IndiGo spokesperson said, “We will continue to evaluate our service offerings to offer options and flexibility to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
