Mumbai: In a bid to regain its market share, Indian Airlines would launch a "IA family ticket" scheme from Monday (Nov 1, 2004).

Under the scheme, being introduced during the peak season, a maximum of two children below the age of 12 can travel free with two full fare paying adult passengers, an IA release said in Mumbai today (Oct 30, 2004).

The scheme, which is valid till January 31, would be valid for one way or round trip travel on domestic sectors, except sectors operated by ATR42 and Dornier aircraft, in economy class only.

Also a maximum of two children between 12 to 18 years can avail a 50 per cent discount on normal published fare while accompanying two full fare paying adults.

In case one child is below 12 years and the other between 12 and 18, the former can travel free while the latter gets a 50 per cent discount, the release added.

In the first five months of this fiscal, Jet Airways held its lead by flying 43.4 per cent of the total passenger traffic followed by Indian Airlines with 38.8 per cent market share.
