IA comes out with scheme to woo executives

Buoyed by the response to its ‘Bumper Super Saver’ scheme for economy class passengers, Indian Airlines on Tuesday extended it to the executive class as well, providing 16 flight coupons on the domestic sector at Rs 1 lakh. Claiming “consistent market demand” from executive class frequent flyers, the public sector carrier said the ‘Bumper Super Saver — Executive Class’ scheme would be launched from Wednesday with the flight tickets to be used within a period of one year from the date of issue, an IA spokesperson said. Like the economy class scheme, which cost Rs 65,000, the passenger can use these coupons and go straight to the airport to board a flight, provided seats are available. The scheme does not require advance purchase or any other booking condition. — PTI
