AN AIRLINE THAT CHANGED THE WAY PEOPLE FLEW

Mantra
”It is not enough to have a dream, you need to
be possessed by it. Especially when the idea is
absurd for the others”

Air Deccan
• A flying experience that led to the Deccan dream
• Identified that he may have audience for his dream
while flying over Goa and Assam
• His then ‘absurd’ idea made him the first entrepreneur
for the poor flyers
• Air Deccan finally started in 2003 to make sure
everyone flies once in their lifetime

How Air Deccan was different?
• First airline to target Tier-2 cities and religious places
• Capt. Gopinath leveraged his business with the elimination of agents
• E-ticketing and call centre bookings were introduced
• Decision to launch an IPO and get listed on the NSE to be able to expand further

From Deccan to Kingfisher Red

The Changing Phase of Deccan
• Rising Competiton: Many foreign carriers• Rising Cost: Rising ATF prices• Fall in Demand: Recession• Cheaper Alternatives:Railway & Road
Transport• Bargaining Suppliers: Airbus and Boeing• Bargaining Consumers: No loyalty

The Deal in Numbers
• On June 1st 2007, Board of Air Deccan approved the allotment of equity shares of 26% to UB Group and it’s nominees. The shares were allotted at Rs. 155 per share approximately at 10% premium for the current market price.

Where did our Captain go wrong?
• Problems of micro management
• Mucked-up operations• Poor organization
structure/ processes• Slow responses to
external change

The Vision The Strategy The Challenge
He wants to kill time and distance
To expand express cargo to more locations, small towns, small industrial clusters, far flung farms
Hub and spoke model. One hub at Nagpur, Maharashtra
He invested close to Rs. 35 crore in an IT system, that’s designed to help the company reduce costs .
Manage air operations with an infrastructure that’s not designed to handle volumes
Connect the IT systems to the franchisees, customers, hub and its own offices - and software on site, in real time
