Sub: Revision of special baggage rates for foreign tourists booked by IATO members by Indigo

Dear Members,

As you are aware, IATO members have special baggage rate for foreign tourists booked on IndiGo.

IndiGo has revised excess baggage rates for foreign tourists booked by IATO members with effect from 09 June 2020. These are not special rate for IATO members and are applicable for everyone who buys in advance and are as follows:-

 

Baggage

Current Rate

Revised Rate w.e.f. 09 Jun 20

08 kg

INR 1200

INR 3200

15 kg

INR 2000

INR 6000

30 kg

INR 4000

INR 12000

The revised communication with current rates is attached with the mail.

On receipt of increased revised rates from IndiGo,  IATO raised objection to it and mentioned that this is the time when we need to attract more foreign tourists to India.  We also mentioned that due to tourist friendly policy of IndiGo, 90% of IATO inbound tour operators use IndiGo airline for their foreign clients. Therefore this increase should be withdrawn immediately.

We have been informed by IndiGo that presently there are no international flight operations as of now and due to post covid environment, IndiGo is reviewing all processes and fees.

However, IndiGo has assured us that they will review the same once International operations will start and would give special rates to IATO.

Thanks and regards,

Rahul Chakravarty
