IndiGo has launched its ‘Great Connections Fest’, offering discounted fares on connecting flights across its domestic and international network for a limited booking period.
Air India, the Tata Group-owned airline major, has announced the launch of Cloud Chasers, a comprehensive new programme aimed at enhancing the travel experience for families and young flyers.
Fuel shortages linked to rising tensions in the Middle East could force German airports to scale back operations, cancel flights and raise fares, the Association of German Airports (ADV) has warned.
