The government on Monday, October 13, launched a single, fixed fare that remains constant regardless of booking date, even on the day of the departure, for the state-owned regional carrier, Alliance Air , on a pilot basis.

Alliance Air's Fare Se Fursat Scheme

Under the ‘Fare Se Fursat’ scheme, Alliance Air will offer a single, fixed fare that remains constant regardless of the booking date, even on the day of departure.

The initiative will be implemented on a pilot basis from October 13 to December 31, 2025 across select routes, to evaluate its operational feasibility and passenger response.

Speaking at the launch, the Minister said, “The ‘Fare Se Fursat’ scheme perfectly aligns with the core principles of the UDAN scheme . Today, Alliance Air is carrying forward Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of democratizing aviation and making it affordable for the middle class, lower-middle class and neo-middle class.”

The static fare system eliminates uncertainty and stress associated with fluctuating airfares, ensuring predictability of costs, even for last-minute bookings, the statement read.

The Minister also shared his broader vision for making Indian aviation more passenger-centric. “Since taking charge of the Ministry, my focus has been on making aviation more people-oriented. Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision under UDAN, we have launched Udan Yatri Cafes offering tea for Rs 10, coffee for Rs 20 and snacks for Rs 20 at airports. It is making air travel more dignified and affordable. Now we are taking a step further and addressing the major concern of passengers which is the airfare ,” Naidu said.

Emphasizing the contribution of the regional carrier, Naidu described Alliance Air as the backbone of the government’s regional connectivity scheme UDAN, connecting Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities to the national aviation network.

“Alliance Air has taken a bold and exemplary step with the idea of One Route, One Fair. It is truly ‘Naye Bharat ki Udaan’ thinking beyond profitability and keeping the focus on public service,” he said.

India’s aviation market largely operates on a dynamic pricing model, where ticket prices vary in real time based on demand, seasonality and competition. While effective for revenue management, it often causes passenger frustration due to unpredictable last-minute fares. “Fare Se Fursat” aims to address this long-standing challenge by introducing transparency and stability in pricing, the Ministry said in the statement.

The initiative is also expected to encourage first-time flyers from smaller towns to opt for air travel, strengthening Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of making air travel available, accessible and affordable, it added.

“Alliance Air continues to play a crucial role in ensuring last-mile air connectivity and contributing to the vision of ‘Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik’, making air travel for every Indian a reality,” the Ministry stated.
