I can just imagine an Airbus-380 operating in full economy configuration for Air Deccan. Free seating, and a route like Gorakhpur, Patna, Ranchi or Varanasi to Mumbai or Surat, should be wonderful. And then pulled out for Hajj Charters, for those who know what goes on aboard those flights, welcome.
They need to figure out how to conduct headcount and turnaround before they are allowed to even think of bringing an A-380 in all economy configuration. Anywhere in the world. |

| IMHO A380 for Haj Charters for AI would solve most of it's scheduling problems. |

Just wondering what size aircraft would they need to compete the 2nd class fares

True. However, these brand new state of the art aircraft will soon look many years older than they actually are, with the famous Air India maintenance treatment......
Ai just doesn't know how to maintain aircraft interiors well. A pity, these new birds will look old and tacky very soon once the lazy useless unionized engineering staff get to "maintain" them. |

The passengers don't seem to care either treating the aircraft like some sort of ST bus. |
