Ticket Sales Increased With The Decrease In Airfares

Cash flow is depended on sales in case of airlines, thus if demand in the season is less than the bookings are equally low. "The limited period discount offer help stimulate demand in a lean quarter. It will help generate cash for the airline. The seats on offer were chosen carefully without compromising flights with high demand. This will also help to widen the narrow flyer-base of the country.  So overall, it’s a good move,'' said Amber Dubey, Partner and head-Aerospace and Defence at global consultancy KPMG.

"The visitor traffic to our website went up four times. We expect the momentum to continue for the next couple of days as well.  The city-booking trends were comparable to non-sale periods, with Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore contributing to the maximum bookings, but some sectors became more popular during the sale due to the discounts being offered. For example, Delhi-Bangalore that is not among the 5 Top-selling sectors on normal days, was the second-most-booked sector during the sale period. Bookings on the Bangalore-Delhi route grew by 800 percent. We saw maximum bookings of 22 percent coming in from Delhi followed by 17 percent bookings from Mumbai and 13percent from Bangalore.
