But sir, keeping in view the increasing popularity of LCC in India, don t you think Air Sahara should be transformed into an LCC?

Well, I think you are right because

So why do you think the deal fell through

Reasons for collapse of proposed deal

Delay from GOI for security clearance for board membership Reluctance from DGCA for clearance on operational issues JA s intention to negotiate for 10-20 lower rates Fast approaching deadline for expiration of ESCROW account Differences in Costs Turn-around-time of aircraft Training modules Distribution models Divergent working culture
