Low-budget airline Air Deccan has announced another round of low-priced tickets of Rs 999 for travel between March 1, 2006, and April 10, 2006. The low-cost carrier is offering tickets of 50,000 more tickets, and this follows its earlier offering of one lakh tickets.

The bookings opened from Sunday and this fare is available on select sectors.

"Just last week, Air Deccan had released one lakh tickets at Rs 999, which received an overwhelming response from the public, with the Air Deccan website and call centre receiving countless hits and calls since the bookings opened," a company release said.

This is a opportunity for passengers who missed out on the low fares last time, it added.

Warwick Brady, Chief Operating Officer Air Deccan said: "we will continue to offer lowest fares and will not be cowed down by the fares offered by full frills and high-cost airlines. In fact, we have forced other airlines to drop their fares and right from our inception we have aggressively been working towards lowering our fares."
