Interesting, but not suprising to see that these two LCC’s are merging together:

Kingfisher Airlines is not LCC.

And it was a no brainer for Deccan. It was either continue with the huge losses and fold up operations a few month later of just let Kingfisher take over and get into a cozy cushion seat.

Deccan started very well and brightly but lost its way due to lack of… not actually lack of but sudden disappearence of management abilities. Even Warwick Brady tried to help but the outcome was not very satisfactory.

Kingfisher premierly bought Deccan to use its 5 year term next year to start flying internationally. If they wouldnt have done this and waited the original time required by Kingfisher to fly abroad, Jet Airways would have capiltalised the situation very aggresivly and 4 years down the line Kingfisher would have found a very difficult situation to tackle with an updated and grown Air India, an aggressive Jet Airways amongst the other major players such as BA, LH, EK etc.
