Budget carrier GoAir has launched a scheme, 'GoFlyPrivate', for enabling passengers to book multiple rows using a single PNR. The airlines said the facility costs "a fraction of a full-fledged private charter flight." GoAir said that there was a growing demand from customers for this kind of service and the company is pleased to announce the launch of this service for domestic flights. At a time when the coronavirus pandemic has eaten up into their businesses, airlines are coming up with various such measures, including offering an adjacent seat to a passenger at a discounter price, roping in hotels for quarantine packages, and tying up with doctors and diagnostic labs.
