Low-cost airlines and low fare prices – Indian budget travelers really satisfied?
Things have changed radically in the aviation sector in recent years
in relation to India. He was a flight time was only possible for the scenario, but only a privileged few is now a thing of the past.
Air Deccan has led the transformation of the transformation in the aviation sector with an affordable option for the middle class in our great country. Air Deccan has started its service in August 2003 and just over 4 years and today there are at least another half dozen low-cost airlines, the situation of the Indian sky. Notable among them are Spice Jet, Go Air and Indigo.
The low-cost carrier has not only a boon for the middle class, but he helped the passengers by the bank as a full-service airlines have been forced to reorganize to stay its structure and price attractive to passengers always looking for better offers. So the market with many offers from major operators is flooded with comprehensive services such as Jet Airways, Air Sahara, Kingfisher and India. They range from credit card cash back on a free hotel room to steal your spouse is free and what is not.
Despite the rise in jet fuel over the years, the average ticket price has come. The full-service airlines also offer discounts for early use to optimize capacity. More than once, if you book early, at least one month in advance can you get the best price on Jet Airways to that of Air Deccan.
So far, so good for consumers, but the last part? The answer lies in how the airlines can position themselves to be reliable for the purpose of travel. Air Deccan has publicly stated several times that their competition with the railway traffic and no other airline is certainly very tempting to budget-conscious travelers.
But the overall experience with the leading low-cost airline is not always so positive. There are many magazines and blogs, the passengers on websites review, by terrible experiences of people who took a flight with this company and this type of comment is not only Air Deccan specific says written plenty, but also for other low-cost airlines. Consumers do not have the food or the lack of attractive female flight attendants but for the basic facilities and the demands they expect to complain of an airline.
The biggest problem dogging the low cost airlines is their poor public image. They are not as reliable due to the strong influence of cancellations and delays perceived.
Most of the time it is a chaos that is on land or in the air. For example, the number of seats was abolished, there is always a wild ride as a local bus or train in the cabin during boarding. It is difficult to improve funding for services for low-cost carriers that turnover is lower, but the biggest mistake for the cause of the misfortune of income and shortage of resources, the Re 1 tariff is the launch of Air Deccan.
Air Deccan has announced the Re 1 fare for a kind of marketing gimmick, but unfortunately they are caught in a trap. Air Deccan emulation of other new low-cost carriers offer these licks at incredibly low prices and no doubt the consumer. But this has really become a headache for airlines budget.
Instead of simply cutting the superfluous, they went too far with the gimmick that it costs money. In 2006, Air Deccan has two lakes X’mas spent Rs. 2 tickets and they can have several lakes Re 1 and R. 2 tickets issued to date. They should not be an air transport agreement analyst, but common sense suggests that many major international airlines go bankrupt if they have two hundred thousand passengers are flying for free.
I think the low-cost carriers need to rethink the strategy. First Indian consumers do not want a ticket for Re 1 or R 2 that to respect it. This price may not even be a pedal rickshaw anywhere in India if it is not going well with me a passenger.
Instead of playing, it is better to have a kind of uniform and realistic low prices by reducing the unnecessary and make low-cost carriers differentiated service for people with business sense who are willing to pay to target amounts to just one point to a secure and convenient transportation. If this is done, I think passengers a better value to find with low cost carriers and fly them to remain faithful.
One thing that we should not forget is that even if the passengers Re.1 they are not to be friendly when their flights are canceled and pay delayed baggage. I witnessed chaotic and acrimonious exchanges between customers and the other by several staff at the counters of Air Deccan and LCC in the different airports and tell us the degree of satisfaction of the clientele of these airlines.
So on the duration of free flights will not help support the low-cost carriers in the economy, they must deliver, to deliver what other airlines without a wheel.
