IndiGo is a low-cost Indian and the largest airline in India, on Friday launched a scheme under which people who want to ensure extra security amidst the coronavirus epidemic can book two seats for a passenger.
Earlier, Indigo Airlines announced a 25 percent discount on airfares for doctors and nurses by the end of 2020, believing they are working at the forefront of the fight against the coronavirus global epidemic. The airline said in a press release: "Nurses and doctors must show valid IDs of the hospital at the time of check-in as proof of their identity." He said: "Exempted while booking tickets from the Indigo website. This exemption will be given for travel from 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2020. Indigo has named the scheme a "Tough Cookies" campaign.
The offer is effective from July 24, 2020. "Indigo said the '6E Double Seat' scheme would not be available through travel portals, Indigo call centers, or airport counters." The benefits of this scheme can only be availed from Indigo's website. Indeed, IndiGo conducted an online survey of 25,000 passengers between June 20 and June 28, which cited a lack of physical distance as a major concern. The survey said that 62 percent of people described physical distance as a major concern.
"Air travel is the safest approach at the moment, but we understand the emotional need to protect customers," IndiGo Chief Strategy and Income Officer Sanjay Kumar said on Friday. "We get such requests." We were happy to present the option to book two seats for a passenger to ensure extra security. "
