Air Deccan's phenomenal growth spurred the entry of more than half a dozen low-cost air carriers in India. Air Deccan faces stiff competition from Kingfisher Airlines, SpiceJet, Indigo and GoAir. The growth of these low-cost air carriers has also forced mainstream Indian airliners like Indian Airlines, Jet Airways and Air Sahara to lower their fares. However, there is a lot of scope for the growth of the airline since the Indian air industry continues to remain largely under-penetrated. Moreover frequent delay and cancellation of Air Deccan flights is leading to customers going to other budget airlines, however this trend has been reversed lately with an improved on-time performance of more than 95% (till Dec 2006).
Current Fleet The Air Deccan fleet consists of a total of 41 aircraft (as of January 2007): 18 Airbus A320-232 5 ATR 42-320 10 ATR 42-500 8 ATR 72-500 (aka 212A) The average age of the Air Deccan fleet is 6.1 years as of April 2006.

(Source: Deccan Herald) 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.
