Deccan airline renamed ‘Simplifly’
View(s):Deccan Aviation Lanka (DAL), a Sri Lankan domestic airline and helicopter operator, has changed its airline name to ‘Simplifly’ from Deccan.
The company name has also been changed to Millennium Airlines Ltd, Deccan said in a media statement.
It said the external livery of all its aircraft and helicopters have been rebranded with the ‘Simplifly’ logo, the trade name under which the airline will operate going forward.
In November 2011, Singapore based Millennium Aero entered the Sri Lankan airline segment with the acquisition of the stake held by Deccan Charters India in its Sri Lankan unit. The move saw the exit of Bangalore based Deccan led by Indian aviation mogul Captain G.R. Gopinath.
“With the corporate name change, the airline has now completed its transition to reflect its new ownership, and its new vision for the future of internal air transport in Sri Lanka, while the new Simplifly branding gives meaning to what we do best: flying guests in exquisite comfort, ease and safety to any part of the island,” noted Suren Mirchandani, Vice Chairman.
The airline operates helicopters to all parts of the country and flies to all local airports. It operates a Bell Jet Ranger helicopter, a GA8 airvan, a Cessna 206 amphibian aircraft and will be inducting a Bell 407 VIP helicopter in the months ahead.
