Indian
Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has been selling air
tickets at its website since May 6, 2010 as a white label arrangement
with a backend content provider. However, now IRCTC has launched air
ticketing website on its own since May 7, 2012. This initiative has been
taken to improve customer satisfaction and provide a seamless passenger
movement over various modes of transport. IRCTC has developed in house
air ticketing module for booking tickets for domestic and international
airlines through website irctc.co.in and railtourismindia.com.
IRCTC now has directly entered
into agreement with the major airlines and the low cost carries in the
country like Air India, Jet Airways, Kingfisher, Spicejet, Indigo and Go
Air. Initially, the customer will be able to book tickets for these
airlines for domestic travel and later the international airlines for
international travel.
This information was given by
the Minister of State for Railways, Shri Bharatsinh Solanki in a written
reply in Rajya Sabha today.
