Low-cost carrier IndiGo on November 21 has launched a five-day flash sale with air tickets starting as low as Rs 899 and Rs 3,199 for domestic and international flights, respectively.

The offer is valid for bookings made during this period and should be at least 15 days prior to the date of departure, provided that the date of travel is no later than April 15, 2019, the airline said in a statement on its website.
IndiGo is offering discounted airfares even as the aviation sector is reeling under multiple blows -- lower passenger yields, higher fuel cost and a weaker rupee -- affecting operating profitability of companies in this space.
The airline, however, has been blaming competitors for low-priced flight tickets in India. "At IndiGo, it is never our practice to take the lead in discounting fares but, as due to the current industry environment, other airlines, desperate to raise cash, are dropping fares, IndiGo had no choice but to match them," co-founder and interim CEO Rahul Bhatia had told analysts during last month's earnings call.
