Air Deccan Braving to Fly Again
Air Deccan, which lifted air travelers at the lowest cost once, is coming again. After its merger with Vijay Mallya’s ambitious Kingfisher,it went out of public memory. After Vijay Mallyas brought his airlines to a grinding halt with paucity of cash, only a few domestic airlines ventured to hit Indian skies. Air Costa was one such attempt but quickly ended up with losses. At this critical hour, Air Deccan makes its phoenix rise from its ashes. Gopinath it’s founder is all set to relaunch the airlines under the government’s UDAN scheme with a promise to connect small towns at low fares again
Air Deccan will make a flying start from 22nd of December 2017 and its air craft will have its maiden trip from Mumbai to Nasik at a fare of 1400/-. “Some of the initial lucky people will be able to get Rs 1 fares also,” Gopinath said. However, Air Deccan is facing parking approval problems at congested airports like Mumbai and Delhi as smaller planes hardly bring any revenue to the airports. This is creating a barrier for Air Deccan even before starting its operations.
