Though the ticket was one rupee, it was actually 2500 rupees as we had to pay those taxes.

US lo kuda okappudu oka airlines lo flight cancel ayinappudu vere airlines lo book chesi ichevalu

I have a doubtful angle same sabotage stories could have happened in US airline industry also

@bhaigan well indigo was a very peculiar case, it is an IT company which worked for air Deccan that turned into aviation simply stealing the business model and passengers. US lo Data fraud ayi undachu Kani not at this range how inter globe did. One reason being USA lo low cost carriers came into market in the 1980s, by the time Chala regulations were relaxed for aviation industries market entry and appatiki no Internet booking, by the time complete digitisation happened, there were a lot of regulations in place. Maximum aite hacking etc., which already have good handling mechanisms.

bruh.. disclaimer chudaledaaa... 

its a fictionlised true story... 

too much over action kanipinchindhiiii

I wasn’t comparing movie to real life, I only commented that it had too much drama and pain (even for a fiction). Movie choosaka I had general curiosity for the background story and was only questioning about it.

"I reared cattle to sell milk, got into poultry farming, silkworm farming, then turned a motor cycle dealer, an Udipi hotel owner, a stock broker, an irrigation equipment dealer, an agricultural consultant, a politician and finally an aviation entrepreneur - struggling, falling, rising, falling, rising again and taking off

Further info for Malya interest 

Gopinath conceded that the money required for the acquisition of Air Deccan could have been one of the factors, but underscored that Mallya was forced to buy the low-cost airline to make it eligible to fly overseas.

"A domestic airline would not be allowed to fly overseas unless it has completed five years of local operations, which discriminated (against) Mallya. It was to favour Jet. Since he was competing against Jet Airways at that time, and wanted to fly international, he bought Air Deccan to overcome the five year rule," Gopinath said.

He (Mallya) asked the government to relax FDI in aviation, which at that time barred foreign airlines investing in Indian carriers. Jet opposed it and the government did not allow. "But when his airline (KFA) was grounded, hastily this policy was changed and the government permitted Indian carriers to get up to 49 per cent equity from overseas airlines," Gopinath said.

Gopinath also said that the luxury airline business model introduced by Mallya was "not fit" for the Indian market. In his latest innings in the aviation sector, Gopinath's Air Deccan started flights under the UDAAN scheme which aims to improve connectivity between smaller towns and larger cities.

agreed, felt more like watching NTR mahanayakudu .. with unnecessary emotions and elevations of hero to dramatize the situation ..in reality there was no such depth in that situation

Business Model was good, an entirely new segment..

It was mainly because of sabotage by interglove software that made air Deccan vulnerable...

The present market leader, Indigo’s parent company Interglobe Aviation was the main reason for the downfall of Air Deccan..

 

Interesting ..any more details on this?

Air Deccan e-ticketing policy Ani someone wrote a blog , WhatsApp lo circulating 

For the next couple of decades or so, whenever I travelled by air, air tickets meant a booklet of multiple pages each leaf of which could be for one leg of the journey and with one copy left behind for the passenger. These booklets had self-carbon (with the back of each page enabled to copy contents onto the next one) mechanism and could be either handwritten or printed through typewriters or printers. The International Air Travel Association (IATA) supplied these booklets to airlines in its network and being printed on specialised paper these booklets cost US$9 per ticket. Air travel was a luxury till about 2 decades ago and a colourful paper booklet added to the aura of such a journey, starting with the ticket itself. Last of the paper booklet tickets were printed and used by IATA and airlines a decade ago in 2008 after which airlines switched en-masse to e-ticketing enabled over the web. 

Credit for saving INR 600 (in today’s US$ exchange rates) on every Indian airline ticket surely goes to Air Deccan. When it launched operations in 2003, Air Deccan introduced several novel features in its flights. Tickets could be booked over the phone and a printout of it collected from Air Deccan’s kiosk at the airport. Initially passengers could sit anywhere within the aircraft and would be given no free food or drink (and even cotton earplugs) with the air hostesses doubling up as salespersons selling food and merchandise; the air hostesses also had to retrieve trash from passengers and save the airline cost of housekeeping crew as also time required for cleaning an aircraft after its journey. Passengers travelling by Air Deccan would have to walk to the aircraft instead of being chaperoned on airline’s bus and had to repeat such journey on arriving at the destination. Its many innovations helped Air Deccan save costs which it passed onto passengers who could get really cheap air tickets and enabled the common man to fly, as envisioned by its founder Captain Gopinath. Air Deccan’s e-ticketing was soon copied by other Indian airlines and in 2017 the only tickets available in India like elsewhere in the world are e-tickets.
