No TDS not attracted. The provisions of Sec 194C does not apply to payments made to Airlines or travel agents for the purpose of travel of individuals even though the payment/credit is made by the specified persons. But, if the aircraft is chartered for carriage of passengers or goods, this section shall be applicable. [Circular No.713 dt.2-8-1995 and No.715 dt.8-8-1995]

Agreed with Mr. Gupta. TDS is not applicable on travel ticket charges, however payment for any taxi / charter plane etc hired for the travel will attract TDS under section 194C.
