Low-cost airlines welcome Budget

February 24, 2006 20:10 IST
Ruling out immediate fare restructuring after the rail budget slashed higher class fares, India's [ Images ] budget carriers on Friday said they were still competitive than the railways.

Welcoming the railway budget, Air Deccan CMD G R Gopinath told PTI that his airline would not anticipate any immediate restructure in fares.

"We are welcoming the railway budget. At present, our fares are 10 to 15 per cent higher than railway AC fares. But we are not going for an immediate restructure in fares as we are competitive than the railways in some other means," he said.
