Air Deccan to induct business class Learjet aircraft

Bangalore: Low cost aviation player Deccan Aviation aims to induct Learjet business aircraft into its chartered service's fleet this calendar year, to boost the business that is growing at a rate of over 30 per cent annually.
The company director (Finance) Mohan Kumar, said that the chartered services business, with a current fleet size of ten helicopters, was expected to touch a revenue of close to Rs 60 crore during the current year.
Deccan already has three nine-seater aircraft in the chartered operations division. Eventually, the business jets' fleet could grow to 15 aircraft in five years. Kumar said that the company witnessed increasing opportunities in the chartered business division owing to heightened business activity in the country.
He added that the company's board had earlier planned to hive off its chartered business into a separate unit to give more focus and give distinct identity to the division.
