MAKING AIR DECCAN MORE FLYABLE!

Sunday, July 30, 2006

I had once mentioned that one of the reasons I would not fly Air Deccan is the risk of cancellations. Now there is a relief for those Deccan passengers who would otherwise find themselves stranded in the airport very often because Deccan announced yet another cancellation.

Air Deccan and Jet have come to an agreement to accommodate each other's passenger's in case of flight cancellations.

"Under the agreement (termed Passenger Disruption Agreement), in case of cancellation of flights of either airline on account of technical reasons, weather problems, or inadequate airport infrastructure, passengers would be accommodated on the other’s flight."

I am sure Air Deccan passengers will be delighted to find Air Deccan staff escorting them to a Jet's flight, but I wonder how Jet's passengers would feel about having to settle down for an Air Deccan flight!
