Earlier, the cash-strapped national carrier had launched an upgrade coupon scheme allowing economy class passengers to travel in business class.

"The scheme has started from November 1, under which any economy class passenger can now upgrade to business class seat by buying the coupons which are worth Rs 4,000-6,000," an Air India official.

The schemes have been initiated to cut revenue losses which occurred due to low business class bookings.
