Bangalore: India's first low cost carrier, Air Deccan will trigger a massive campaign from September 19 to dislodge Jet Airways from the number one slot.
Announcing the campaign named 'WOW'', Air Deccan Managing Director Capt G R Gopinath and COO Warwick Brady said that from September 19 the airline would also offer a free ticket to its passengers if the flight is delayed beyond three hours, except in cases where delay is caused by fog.
For a cancelled flight, Air Deccan would put its passengers on the next flight, on another airline, subject to availability.
With a fleet of 37 aircraft, including 12 Airbus A 320s, Air Deccan currently enjoys a market share of 21.2 per cent being the second behind Jet Airways, which had a clear ten per cent lead.
Growing at 0.5 per cent rate a month, Air Deccan aimed to capture the slot of being the best carrier with customer satisfaction by January next year Capt Gopinath said: ''Its inevitability and reality that we will emerge number one carrier in the country, despite the hurdles posed by competition and bureaucracy.”
Brady said by the end of the current fiscal, the airliner would have 45 aircraft and by fiscal 2008 the number would go up to 57. Capt Gopinath said in October three Airbus aircraft and two ATRs would join the fleet.
