46. PRICING STRATEGIES Mallya made it clear that KFA would not be positioned as a low cost carrier as passengers would attribute the features of low cost carriers like low quality of service, delayed flight timings, etc., to KFA as well. Hence, the airline was called a budget airline and not an LCC. Fares were above those of LCCs but lower than the economy class fares of Jet, Sahara, and IA. KFA also allowed multiple fare options and auctioning of tickets on all traffic routes. Kingfisher follows a dynamic fare policy and the fare levels fluctuate depending on the number of bookings made / anticipated on a particular flight.It is their commitment to Guests that at any given point of time the lowest available fare at that time would be made available on all booking mediums.
