Foreign flight: Mallya needs Deccan

NEW DELHI: Kingfisher may have to keep a Deccan look on its aircraft to be able to fly abroad later this year.

Recently, it has filed an application for doing so on licence of Air Deccan (now Simplifly Deccan) as the latter would be eligible to do so on completion of five years this August, as per the existing rule.

But "operational issues" mean that flying on Deccans licence means having the brands livery on the aircraft.

These issues were pointed out to UB group chief Vijay Mallya when he recently went to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) office.

"There are technical issues involved. Kingfisher inked a deal with Air Deccan but the name and livery of the airline, which has got the permit for flying abroad  Deccan in this case  could be needed on the aircraft. Kingfisher has to get in the womb of Deccan for flying abroad," said top sources.

This catch would make it necessary to keep Deccans identity intact, they added, something that the "Captain Gopinath was aware of while striking the deal with Mallya". Kingfishers plan is to use its long-range aircraft for flights to Europe and US while brand Deccan will be deployed on nearby areas like southeast Asia and the Gulf.

Senior ministry officials said all these issues would be worked upon in coming weeks. "There is no doubt that Kingfisher will go abroad from August. The legal modalities of how that happens are being studied from all angles," said an official.

The reason: This is the first case in Indian aviation industry when an integration of two airlines has taken place to allow one to fly abroad on the licence of the other. In the other two deals  Jet-Sahara and Air India-Indian Airlines  all the players had rights to fly abroad even before the integration took place.

Though the aviation ministry has been advocating a case-by-case clearance for allowing airlines to fly abroad, the change has been hard to come by, thanks largely to the stiff opposition from certain quarters. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com)
