Over-booking: Air Deccan open to probe

Describing the reports to this effect by a news channel as 'sensational journalism', Air Deccan COO Warwick Brady said, "We are glad that DGCA will be conducting an investigation into the matter. This is the only way in which we can prove ourselves right and emerge truthful".

Brady said the airline was "open to any audit and gladly welcomed the probe by DGCA into the alleged scam". Official sources had yesterday said that DGCA had begun an inquiry and would take necessary action after the probe.

The airline has already denied the reports by a news channel from Bangalore that it was over-booking many of its flights.
