My daughter is regular traveler from Coimbatore to chennai, due to unfavourable attitude of the counter staff, for the last 3 months we switched over to another airline, which starts just 20 mins after. Mallaya should think about this.
First buying out and then closing down the Air Deccan, is ultimately the loss of poor flyers who can affort only the low cost airlines. Air Deccan was a remarkable game changing airlines which created a new class of flyers. Many or rather say most of them were one who flew down in a plane for the first time in their life. An operational'Air Deccan' with the same original management would have ensured a better low cost flying experience.
gopinath has 2 failed ventures.. deccan and cargo 360.. both investors have burnt their fingers in it kingfisher is a premium brand and never should have got into low cost .. its like rolex buying titan.. whose sales should rise or wat shold customer identify with.. kf is one of the few 5 star airlines and he should build that brand..as there is no good airline service in that segment with only jet left in full fare category and air india is not worth counting
When Mallya took over Deccan, he obviously saw merit in Low Cost Airlines. Now that he has burnt his fingers, he is ditching this concept in favour of five star treatment of Kingfisher. When low cost Airlines like Indigo and Spicejet are running well, combining on time performance with efficient service, where did Kingfisher Red go wrong ?

it means that Indigo and Spice jet too may not be doing well and cooking books and will shut down or raise fares

zingaro,sandpiper and now air deccan thats one way of killing Competition, he tried his bit with jet airways aswell but did not succeed,
People should not invest in airlinecompanies as they have never made profits throught the history. Also, due to global turmoil, people should stay away from realty and IT companies shares are they are most likely to be hit is this scenario. Invest in Pharma, Petroleum, coal, infrastructure, FMCG sectors only as they are safest at present.
