Air Deccan’s overseas service from August 2008

Mangalore: Deccan Aviation, a private civil airline operator, will start its international flight operation from August, 2008. Its first international flight will be launched from Mangalore to a destination in West Asia, its executive chairman G.R. Gopinath said here on Friday.
Addressing a gathering at the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), he said that West Asia had immense potential for aircraft operations as it had a number of Non-resident Indians (NRIs).
To a query if the compamy could consider Mangalore as one of its bases, he said “We will look into it”. He said that he could not commit on that for the time being as the company needed to address issues such as maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities.
Mr. Gopinath did not disclose the international destinations they were planning to add.
