How will you benefit?
Under the scheme, Alliance Air will offer a single, fixed fare that is independent of the booking date.

Speaking at the launch, the Minister said, “The new scheme is fully aligned with the core principles of the ‘UDAN’ scheme. Today, Alliance Air is furthering Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of making aviation accessible and affordable to the common man. The middle class, lower-middle class, and neo-middle class have particularly benefited from this.” He further explained that this fixed fare system will eliminate the uncertainty and stress associated with airfares. This will allow travelers to anticipate their expenses, even if they have to book tickets at the last minute.
The Minister also shared his broader vision to make Indian aviation more passenger-centric. He said, “Since taking charge of the Ministry, my focus has been on making aviation more useful to the people. Inspired by the Prime Minister’s ‘UDAN’ vision, we have launched UDAN Yatri Cafés at airports, offering tea for ₹10, coffee for ₹20, and snacks for ₹20. This is making air travel more dignified and affordable. Now, we are going a step further, addressing a major concern for passengers: airfares.”
Emphasizing the contribution of regional airlines, Ram Mohan Naidu described Alliance Air as the backbone of the government’s regional connectivity scheme, UDAN. He said that it connects tier-2 and tier-3 cities to the national aviation network. Alliance Air has taken a bold step with the idea of ​​’One Route, One Fare.’ It is truly the ‘Udaan of New India,’ focusing on public service and thinking beyond profit.
