In today’s unpredictable travel market, flight prices often change within hours—especially during festive peaks like Diwali. For travellers, this constant fluctuation creates anxiety and uncertainty. Recognizing this challenge, the government-owned regional carrier Alliance Air has launched a groundbreaking initiative to simplify air travel: ‘Fare se Fursat’ (Freedom from Fare Stress).
This bold step aims to bring stability, transparency, and affordability to the Indian skies—just in time for the Diwali rush.
Fare se Fursat: Freedom from Fare Volatility
Ahead of the festive season, Alliance Air introduced its fixed airfare scheme, ending the era of unpredictable, dynamic ticket pricing. This initiative not only reduces last-minute stress but also reflects the government’s vision of making air travel accessible and dignified for all.
Launched by Union Civil Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu, the scheme breaks away from profit-driven pricing models and prioritizes the traveller’s peace of mind. As a result, it marks a new chapter in price stability and fairness within India’s regional aviation network.
What Exactly Is ‘Fare se Fursat’?
At its core, the ‘Fare se Fursat’ scheme means one route, one fare—a single, unchanging ticket price, no matter when you book. Whether it’s three months or three hours before departure, the fare remains the same.
Strategically timed during the festive season, the program is a pilot initiative aimed at easing the burden on passengers from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities—the backbone of Alliance Air’s UDAN network.
