India’s first & largest Low Cost Airlines, Simplify Deccan (Air Deccan) got in principal nod to fly abroad from Aug 2008, when it will complete five years of successful domestic operations in India.
With this Approval letter, Deccan will now approach to various airports abroad and will seek slots for flights out of India. At the moment, only Jet Airways and its low cost airline JetLite (Air Sahara) are the two other private airlines that are allowed to travel International.
Air Deccan will still require approval from DGCA before it can start operations. Currently, the approval is on stand-alone basis and is only for Air Deccan. After the completion of its merger with KingFisher Airlines next month, the rights to operate international will immediately be eligible for transfer to KingFisher.
We hope that Govt. of India should allow Kingfisher to fly International on its own license from Aug, so that India can also compete with other foreign airlines and can create a new benchmark of services in the aviation industry.
Passengers are looking forward for Good Times in the International Skies & International travel.
