Air India to offer tickets for Rs 100 to celebrate merger with Indian Airlines

Air India will celebrate its merger with erstwhile Indian Airlines as 'Air India Day' on Wednesday, offering tickets for Rs 100 for a limited period.

The sale of these tickets under the state-owned carrier's 'Air India Offer' would be made only through the airline's website for five days starting August 27.

The period of travel has to be between August 27 to September 30.

"This is the first time the airline will be celebrating the 'Air India Day'. A function will be held to celebrate the day and also to award meritorious employees of the airline," an official spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Air India was amalgamated with erstwhile Indian Airlines into one airline as 'Air India' on August 27, 2007.
