Fare se Fursat Fixed Airfare Scheme:
The Minister of Civil Aviation inaugurated the ‘Fare Se Fursat’ Fixed Airfare Scheme.
- Fare se Fursat Fixed Airfare Scheme is aimed at giving passengers freedom from the stress of fluctuating airfares and promoting ease of flying in the country.
- Objective is to address this long-standing challenge by introducing transparency and stability in pricing.
- It is an initiative by India’s government-owned regional carrier, Alliance Air which offers a single, fixed fare that remains constant regardless of the booking date, even on the day of departure.
- Alliance Air operates short and medium-route flights, primarily connecting tier 2 and tier 3 cities under the union government’s Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik (UDAN) scheme.
- The initiative will be implemented on a pilot basis from October 13 to December 31, 2025 across select routes.
- The initiative is also expected to encourage first-time flyers from smaller towns to opt for air travel and make air travel available, accessible and affordable.
- It is truly ‘Naye Bharat ki Udaan’ thinking beyond profitability and keeping the focus on public service.
- The static fare system eliminates uncertainty and stress associated with fluctuating airfares, ensuring predictability of costs, even for last-minute bookings.
