Air India Launches Basic Fare, Unbundles Complimentary Meals

Air India has introduced a new 'Basic Fare' option for economy class passengers, offering a lower-cost travel alternative with fewer bundled services. The move unbundles complimentary meals from the ticket price, letting travelers opt out of free food. This restructuring aims to attract price-sensitive flyers and compete with low-cost carriers. It reflects a growing trend of à la carte pricing in economy air travel.
