Jet Airways plans to cut complimentary meal offerings for passengers travelling in domestic economy class from January 2019. The move comes as a part of the cash-strapped carrier’s plans to reduce expenses and increase revenues, as reported by The New Indian Express.
In a statement, the carrier said that the passengers have to buy meals on board. “The move reflects the fast-evolving nature of Indian aviation, where an increasing number of guests want the freedom and flexibility to make their own travel choices,” said Jet Airways.
