GoAir announces festive season offers

New Delhi, Oct 13 (UNI) Low-fare carrier GoAir today announced a host of promotional offers for the festive season, including introduction of two daily services on new sectors, induction of a new Airbus A320 aircraft, a 'Free Rs 200 Voucher' offer and the 'Fly Smart' offer.

''The introduction of the new services in the Cochin sector will enable the passengers to fly to Cochin from Mumbai and Delhi as well as Ahmedabad from Mumbai, making the later the only morning flight on this sector,'' GoAir CEO Edgardo Badialli, said in a statement.

The initial bookings on these sectors have been substantially high (early booking to the tune of 45 per cent), and GoAir expects it to increase through the festive season.

After flying the Mumbai-Goa sector everyday, GoAir has now introduced morning flights connecting the Mumbai-Goa-Delhi sector to and fro. The flight will fly the mornings of every Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

GoAir also announced induction of two Airbus A320 aircraft to its fleet, to replace the older aircraft.

Further induction is planned in the coming month, bringing the average age of the fleet to be the youngest in the industry -- six months -- at the beginning of the FY 2009-2010 GoAir will also offer every single flier on the airline a 'Free Rs 200 Voucher' with boarding pass issued at the GoAir check-in counters.

This will enable the passengers onboard G8 flights to avail of a Rs 200 voucher. They can then redeem the amount on the next ticket they purchase, within a period of three months, Mr Badialli said.

The 'Fly Smart Offer' will enable the passengers, who book tickets on-line, to avail of a free base fare ticket from GoAir against the purchase of the fifth consecutive ticket during the offer period. Duration of the promotion is till the end of March 2009.
