India, June 16 -- Air India on Tuesday announced 'Basic' fare category for travellers on select domestic routes in a move to bring down the fare for "price-conscious travellers".

The airline said that while the passengers will be offered 15 kg checked baggage allowance and 7 kg cabin baggage allowance, complimentary meals will not be included.

It said that the optional fare band was designed for price-conscious travellers who prefer unbundled services.

"The introduction of Basic fare builds on Air India's branded fare families - Value, Classic, and Flex - introduced in 2024 as part of the airline's effort to simplify and enhance its customer offering," the airline statement said.
