Air India has launched a 'basic fare' option on select domestic flights that does not include complimentary meals, according to a report by the TOI Business Desk. The new fare option is available on select domestic routes, though the airline did not specify which routes or provide pricing details.
This change marks a shift from Air India's previous all-inclusive pricing model on domestic flights, where complimentary meals were standard. The basic fare option allows passengers to pay a lower base fare without the inclusion of meals, potentially appealing to budget-conscious travelers. No further details on the rollout or customer response were provided in the report.
The TOI Business Desk, which covers global business news, reported the development. The airline has not issued an official statement beyond the launch announcement.
