I was surpised to find that IC is offering a fare of Rs. 600 + Rs. 975 (tax + fuel surcharge) on one of their BLR-BOM flights. The timings are :

BLR-BOM : IC110 : 1130-1250

Is this a new flight ? Are they putting bigger equipment (more seats) on particularly this flight ? But return is not so cheap. Could just be a demand-creating exercise (being an odd hour flight)

Also, it was a pleasant surprise that IC does not charge any congestion fee from it's passengers. Do they have the right of way being a Govt Airline at the croded BOM, DEL and BLR airports ?

Every time I flew IC into BOM or DEL, the hovering time seemed to be limited. Don't know if this was a co-incidence or really do IC flights get priority by ATC ?

Oops! Sorry, I posted it under the wrong folder - Trip reports.

Fellow A-India.Netters, sorry for this goof-up.

No problems - I've moved it to Civil Av.

1500 is pretty good for a flight on a full service airline!

IA is dramatically dropping fares on its South routes.


Minister Praful Patel specifically "warned" IA not to impose this congestion charge while he "requested" the private airlines to reconsider this fee!!

That was Rs. 18700 for 3 adults + 1 infant for BLR-BOM return. About Rs. 2337 per head/sector.
