IndiGo offers: IndiGo will give 10 percent discount from Wednesday onwards to all passengers who have taken at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, a statement said.
In a bid to boost travel, IndiGo is offering passengers the chance to get 10% off on tickets if they are vaccinated. The airline will offer the discount to anyone who has received one or two jabs, with the discount applicable on the base fare only.
The discount would be given on base fare and only “limited inventory” is available under this offer, the airline’s statement noted. “The offer is only available to vaccinated passengers aged 18 years and above, who are located in India at the time of booking and have already received a (at least one dose of) COVID-19 vaccine in the country,” it said.
Travellers who avail the discount will have to furnish a vaccination certificate at the airport check-in counter and the boarding gate. The vaccination certificates are issued by the Union Health Ministry after beneficiaries have taken atleast the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
“Alternately, they can display their vaccination status on the Aarogya Setu mobile application at the airport check-in counter/boarding gate,” it added.
IndiGo offers: How to book your ticket with the discount
Step 1: Passengers will be required to choose the Vaxi Fare option while entering their arrival and departure destination
Step 2: Choose the dose you have taken, first or second
Step 3: Select your onward and return flight option and continue
Step 4: Provide a valid beneficiary reference ID
Step 5: The Vaxi Fare will be applied before the payment is done.
Sanjay Kumar, Chief Strategy and Revenue Officer, IndiGo said, “Being the largest airline in the country, we feel it is our responsibility to contribute to the national vaccination drive, by encouraging more people towards this common goal.”
During April and May, India had been badly hit by the coronavirus infection’s second wave, which is receding currently. Several states have been complaining about the COVID-19 vaccine shortage for the last couple of months.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said on Tuesday said that, more than 2.14 crore COVID-19 vaccine doses are still available with the states and union territories and over 33,80,590 vaccine doses are in the pipeline and will be received by them within the next three days.
