Low fare airlines eye ancillary services

Indian low fare carriers like SpiceJet is looking to make an easy extra buck by starting ancillary services. Tying up with hotels and in-flight advertising are the focus areas right now. Indian low fare carriers like SpiceJet, Air Deccan and GoAir are looking to make an easy extra buck by starting ancillary services like hotel bookings, selling on flight insurance, and advertising space.
Currently, Indian no frills airlines earn an average about 5-6 per cent of their revenue from these activities compared to 17-18 per cent earned by international carriers like Easy Jet. Carriers like SpiceJet hope to increase that to 15-20 per cent by the end of next year.
Services like in-flight booking, catering and car rentals have been in operation for a while now, but carriers like GoAir and Kingfisher Airlines are thinking out of the box. They have started selling advertisement space on lockers and trays inside the aircraft, besides selling insurance and providing hotels to passengers.

    It very nice to hear the offer and package. But as of now the taxes which they were collecting is higher than the ticket price. Why Airline people have a talk with Govt. for reducing the taxes. If that happens these Airlines will get more demand.

    My experience with spicejet is not so good. I lodged a complaint more than an year back. They have not yet reverted on the same. Noone from the customer relation id responds and phone no. are just to listen the “Spicejet Song”

    hello Aradhya here from Bangalore, I hereby request Spice jet team to provide few discount tickets for few empty seats for business men who travel regularly in spicejet. This would indirectly promote the business of Spicejet and also win hearts of their regular guests.
