Times Private Treaties has invested in some of the innovative aviation companies which include Deccan Express Logistics, Kingfisher (Deccan Aviation) and Paramount Airways.

The aviation sector in India has seen high pace developments in the last few years. From being a service for the select few to a fiercely competitive industry, catering to all segments with growing presence of private and public airlines and new customer offerings being added every day, India has become the second largest aviation industry of the world.

However, with this growth, accompanies a key challenge for aviation companies to build brand differentiators and stand out from the ever increasing clutter. Adding to this, was the impact of global downturn, increasing fuel prices, increasing human resource costs which showed pressures on profits and margins of aviation companies last year.

But with traffic movement picking up during December 2009, the industry seems to be coming back on its track. The investment opportunities of US$ 110 billion are being envisaged up to 2020 with US$ 80 billion towards new aircraft and US$ 30 billion towards development of airport infrastructure, according to the Investment Commission of India.

Seeing immense growth opportunity that this sector represents, Times Private Treaties has invested in some of the innovative aviation companies which include Deccan Express Logistics, Kingfisher (Deccan Aviation) and Paramount Airways. The Times Private Treaties business model is designed to share risk, accelerate growth and create value for the brand in the long term.

Through a strategic alliance with Times Private Treaties, companies such as Deccan Express Logistics, Kingfisher (Deccan Aviation) and Paramount Airways are building strong brand identities and building their service offerings.

Deccan Express Logistics is an express transportation and logistics company which is the first Indian company to create a hub-and-spoke distribution model in an industry.

Paramount Airways in India is a leader in providing domestic airline travel and online ticket booking with best comparative airfare tickets to all class.
