A good news for the wait-listed passengers of Rajdhani trains, new Chairman of the Indian Railway Board, Ashwani Lohani said that the passengers with unconfirmed AC-I or AC-II tickets for Rajdhani Express will be provided with the option to fly by Air India with a little extra amount. Air India-Rajdhani Scheme Yojana would implement soon, awaiting a green signal from higher authorities.
The new proposal would be a blessing to passengers. Lohani had mooted the plan last year when he was the carrier’s chief. Air India and IRCTC had even entered into a pact for the proposed arrangement. However, the plan was not implemented. The Railway chief has said that he will clear the plan if Air India puts it up again.
Under the proposed arrangement, people who have unconfirmed tickets across classes on Rajdhani trains would have the choice of boarding an Air India flight by paying the difference, provided the airline has services on the particular train route chosen by the passenger. Air India tickets would be offered to such passengers through IRCTC.
