Low Cost Airline Air Deccan To Hawk Tickets Through Indiatimes

Indiantelevision.com: One of India’s largest portals, Indiatimes.com, will now hawk the air tickets of India’s leading low cost carrier Air Deccan. This will be the first time Air Deccan will be selling its ticket through a website other than its own. Indiatimes is a news and entertainment, auction portal of Times Internet Limited ((TIL)) owned by media giants Bennett Coleman & Co.
The entire inventory of tickets (around 10,000 daily) available on the Air Deccan website would be available to TIL subscribers. Times Internet MD and CEO Mahendra Swarup revealed that on off-peak days, TIL sold around 1000 air tickets daily as against 1500 on peak days, 60-70 per cent of which are by foreigners and Indians settled abroad, especially in the Middle East.
On the other hand, Air Deccan is looking at the large TIL subscription base, including those settled abroad, and is quite keen to grab a piece of the foreign sector through this initiative.
