Gurgaon, 23 July, 2015: SpiceJet, the country’s #2 low-cost carrier and
most innovative airline, today announced the launch of ‘Book Now, Pay Later’, a
convenient Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) scheme. This offer allows passengers to
save significantly (up to 70% interest cost reduction) on deferred/delayed payment
interest costs relative to traditional credit card fees. This is valid on India-issued
credit cards of Axis Bank, HSBC Bank, Kotak Bank, and Standard Chartered Bank (other
banks will be added shortly).
Passengers holding credit cards issued by these banks can pay as per their own
preference of schedule that may vary between 3 and 12 months, at interest rates in the
range of 12-14%, compared to typical credit card interest rates in excess of 36%. For
example, for a ticket costing Rs 5,000, this scheme can result in savings of over Rs
1,000 in terms of interest charges relative to credit cards for a 12-month deferred
payment plan.
SpiceJet’s Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. Debojo Maharshi said,
“Providing customer convenience and enhancing options through unique travel schemes and
offers are central to SpiceJet’s philosophy. We are confident that this scheme will
make air travel more economically-viable than ever before for those customers who want
to travel now, but pay later”.
The facility is available for bookings made through the SpiceJet website (www.spicejet.com).
In case of airfare refunds, customers will have to bear the costs of the interest rate
already billed for that particular booking.
