Bangalore: Low-cost airline Air Deccan announced on Saturday that it would offer 3 lakh tickets at Rs 6 (plus taxes) each for travel between October 30, 2006, and March 25, 2007.

The bookings for the same will open from tomorrow. The scheme was in addition to its plans to offer the same number of tickets at three rupees each to mark its third anniversary.

"The scheme would encourage and enable many more people especially first time fliers and rail passengers to take-off to skies," the airline Managing Director Capt G R Gopinath said.

In the past, during peak seasons as well as holidays, Air Deccan had boldly offered popular offers such as air tickets at Rs 1 and Rs 3 and even a fly-for-free offer, he added.

He pointed out, "As part of 'Destination Number 1' campaign, which is on till November 30, in case a flight is delayed by more than three hours or cancelled on the day of travel, we are offering free tickets to our passengers. We are confident that our dynamic pricing of tickets will give us an edge over our competitors and bring us closer to our vision of making air travel commonplace in India."

Since its inception in August 2003, Air Deccan had carried over 6.6 million passengers. The airline has recorded an on-time performance (within 1 hour) of 98.33 per cent for August 2006 the release said.
