According to a report in the Times of India, passengers with unconfirmed AC-I or AC-II tickets for the Rajdhani Express could soon opt to fly with Air India instead, after paying the price difference, if there is any. AC-II fares for Rajdhani Express are almost equivalent to air fares and if, customers don't book the tickets in advance than it becomes really difficult to get a seat in Rajdhani trains. Rajiv Bansal, Additional Secretary in the Petroleum Ministry, has been given the interim charge of CMD of Air India. The new Rajdhani train would cut short the travelling time between the national capital and financial capital of India. Currently, there are two Rajdhani Express trains -the August Kranti Rajdhani and the Mumbai Central New Delhi Rajdhani, which run between Delhi to Mumbai.
