Airlines Fly Hyderabad-UK at Rs 90 on British Airways Our Bureaus Hyderabad/New Delhi, Nov. 2 Here is some good news for those worried about the depressed aviation industry. British Airways has announced a limited period inaugural fare of just Rs 90 (plus taxes) from Hyderabad to London and any other destination in the UK. Passengers can fly to any of the 22 destinations in the US at Rs 990 (plus taxes). BA is going to add Hyderabad to its route network in India from December 7, a press release said. The tax component on a Hyderabad-London return ticket (two-way) is put at Rs 19,477 and Hyderabad-New York return at Rs 34,729. BA would operate five flights a week from Hyderabad to London. This would take the total number of flights it operates from six Indian cities to 48 flights a week. The move comes close on the heels of the airline offering a fare of Rs 9,990, plus taxes, fees and surcharges, on all flights to London from Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. Wooing the citySeveral airlines seem to offering promotional fares to woo the Hyderabad market. In September this year, Singapore Airline offered tickets to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Bangkok at discounts varying from 33 per cent to 39 per cent. Industry watchers feel that the move by the global airline industry is an attempt to get certain sections of society, which would otherwise not look at international travel. “Traditionally, it has been elderly persons or the IT sector people who have been travelling from Hyderabad to Europe and the US. But now with international airlines adding capacity, attempts are being made to expand the international travel market segment,” an industry source said. More Stories on : Airlines
