On every Air India ticket booked by agents, the airline pays 3 per cent of the ticket cost as commission. The airlines earns around Rs 10,000 crore (Rs 100 billion) a year from ticket bookings.
As of now, Air India serves sandwich (both vegetarian and non-vegetarian) and cake on its flights, which are up to 90 minutes of duration, which will be discontinued from January 1, 2016, replaced with "all vegetarian" hot meal, an airline circular said.
The travel period for which the discount is being offered ends on April 30 next year.
This optimism is triggered by the feel-good factor in the wake of the Sensex touching record-high levels last week and a slew of discount offers by airlines to boost travel demand.
