Air India is set for a major transformation. The full-service carrier will soon start charging passengers travelling economy class on domestic sectors for food.
“An average domestic meal on an AI flight costs Rs. 175 and implementing this recommendation will bring down the same to Rs. 25. The total saving estimated from this front alone is Rs. 100 crore per annum,” an official said.
AI will not cut fares and its emulation of low-cost airlines is just limited to charging for food.
