Jet-Deccan alliance takes off

Mumbai: The intense competition in the Indian aviation market is now forcing Indian carriers to join hands. In a first of its kind arrangement between a legacy carrier and a low-cost carrier, Jet Airways and Air Deccan have joined hands for a set sharing arrangement across all sectors.
‘‘We have finalised a seat sharing arrangement where in case a Jet Airways flight is cancelled a person holding the Jet boarding pass can board an Air Deccan flight operating on the same route,’’ Air Deccan’s MD Capt G R Gopinath said here today.
Air Deccan already has a similar arrangement with SpiceJet. ‘‘Our relationship with SpiceJet stands however it was limited to a small number of routes", he said.
