Mumbai: Air India Express, a low-cost airline subsidiary of national flag carrier Air India Ltd, has rolled back seat selection fee that it introduced two days back.
Air India Express had announced a fee structure for pre-selection of seats on its flights that was identical to the one introduced by IndiGo. According to Air India Express' fee structure all seats on Boeing 737 flights had a pre-selection fee.
But low-cost airline IndiGo announced on Tuesday that it had withdrawn its fee for middle seat selection.
According to Air India Express' fee structure the first- and second-row seats were priced at Rs 400 each and the third- to sixth-row seats were priced at Rs 300 each. The middle seat selection imposed a price of Rs100 for domestic flights and Rs200 for international flights, just like Indigo.
The move by the two airlines followed after the ministry of civil aviation ordered these airlines not to levy pre-selection charges on their flights on every seat.
