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.
