Customers subscribed to roaming packs priced at Rs. 2997 for prepaid and Rs. 3999 for postpaid and above will automatically receive the in-flight roaming benefit at no extra cost.

The postpaid plans offer different data allowances along with voice calling and SMS benefits, valid for 24 hours. Similarly, prepaid customers can choose from different data options paired with voice calling and SMS benefits, also valid for 24 hours.

Amit Tripathi, Director of Customer Experience and Marketing at Bharti Airtel, expressed excitement about the launch.
