The Indian market has been witnessing robust air passenger growth for the past few years. Air passenger traffic in the Indian market surged nearly 16 per cent year-on-year in February, data from aviation regulator DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) showed.
Riding on the high passenger growth, various airlines have in the recent past offered discounted tariffs and schemes. GoAir was last week offering a Rs 500 off on returns flights booked using HDFC Bank cards under a limited-period scheme.
