Overview
Deccan Aviation Limited operates Deccan, India’s first no-frills, low-cost, scheduled commercial passenger airline in India, and Deccan Aviation, a private helicopter and airplane chartering service in India. Deccan is India’s first airline to follow a No-Frills, Low Cost Scheduled Passenger Airline business model.

Our Charter Services
Deccan Aviation commenced operations in 1997 as a chartered aircraft service provider. Initially, it chartered helicopters only, but in 2001 it added its first fixed-wing aircraft. This operation provides a variety of charter services throughout India (and in Sri Lanka, through our participation in the joint venture DALPL)

 Vision
Our airline operation, Deccan, strives to provide a cost-effective and commercially successful alternative to the traditional means of domestic travel used by the Indian mass consumer market. It is our aim that Deccan

  • Become the preferred airline of the “common man” of India, by providing a no-frills service that is safe,
    on-time and low cost
  • Serve the most destinations across India than any airline and
  • Achieve business success while offering low fares, by increasing aircraft utilization, seeking to optimise load factors and yields and reducing operating costs.

Fleet Growth
As of March 31, 2006, we had orders in place for the future delivery of 96 Deccan aircraft which are presently scheduled to be delivered by December, 2012.
Substantially all future aircrafts will be new aircraft acquired from the manufacturer. As a result of the future aircraft acquisitions described above, Deccan’s average fleet age is expected to drop substantially from 2006 onwards.

 Operational Bases
We operate from seven bases located in the largest urban centres in India: Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Trivandrum.

People
Deccan places great emphasis on the selection and training of enthusiastic employees with the potential to add value to our business and whom we believe fit in and contribute to our business culture. It has a preference for employees who have an entrepreneurial spirit and are motivated. Deccan maintains a relatively flat management structure to avoid wasteful layers of reporting and oversight.
