THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With a low-cost airline service provider set to begin its operations from Thiruvananthapuram, other domestic services are likely to trim their otherwise exorbitant fares in a race to stay relevant.
The airline, Akasa Air, has already added Thiruvananthapuram Airport (TRV) to its booking engine for regular flights, and sources said the services are likely to be launched soon. Unlike other airlines, Akasa Air has a flexible tariff structure that allows passengers to travel within the country even on a shoestring budget. This could give it a competitive advantage over rivals such as IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Vistara.
