Gurgaon, 5 October 2016: SpiceJet, India’s favourite budget airline,
has once again reiterated its regional connectivity agenda this time with a special
focus on North-East India. Fastening the north eastern states on its pan-India radar
the airline flagged off 16 new flights on the Kolkata-Silchar-Guwahati;
Kolkata-Aizawl-Guwahati; and Kolkata-Gorakhpur-Delhi routes. SpiceJet is the first
low-cost carrier to introduce direct daily flights on the Guwahati-Silchar,
Guwahati-Aizawl, Aizawl-Kolkata, Gorakhpur-Delhi and Gorakhpur-Kolkata routes.
SpiceJet intends to penetrate the underserved markets within its domestic network and
thereby aims to enhance regional connectivity. Whilst the airline has outlined new
markets on to its network inclusive of Silchar, Gorakhpur and Aizawl, it will also
deploy a dedicated fleet of three Q400 for the north-eastern markets.
On 4th October, SpiceJet flagged off its new flights from Guwahati, Aizawl and Gorakhpur
in the auspicious presence of dignitaries and ministerial chieftains like Shri Jayant
Sinha - Hon'ble Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal - Hon'ble
Chief Minister of Assam, and Shri Lt. Gen Nirbhay Sharma, Hon'ble Governor of Mizoram
amongst others.
The airline will also operate new flights on sectors like Kolkata-Silchar-Guwahati;
Kolkata-Aizawl-Guwahati and Kolkata-Gorakhpur-Delhi. Kolkata-Visakhapatnam-Kolkata
flights are effective from 1st November.
Mr. Ajay Singh – CMD, SpiceJet on the occasion said, “There is
tremendous growth taking place in the economies of small towns of the tier-II and
tier-III cities. The next wave of growth for the Indian aviation industry is going to
come from them as these small town airports will enable the industry to explore the
growth potential of these untapped markets. With the onus of operating the highest
number of flights into smaller destinations in the market today we are now focusing on
elevating these regional cities on to our pan-India network. We are also planning to
boost our departures from Kolkata by 40% with an extensive outlook for domestic and
international network from the city.”
SpiceJet is all set to chart Kolkata as its third Bombardier Q400 hub after Delhi and
Hyderabad and is looking at expanding its domestic and international network from the
city. The airline will also ramp up its international connectivity from the city with
an additional daily flight to Bangkok, and new daily flights to Dhaka and Chittagong
from December this year. SpiceJet also has plans to introduce additional frequencies on
routes like – Kolkata-Bagdogra and Kolkata-Guwahati.
With the augmented program, the airline will now operate 317 daily flights vis-à-vis its
current schedule of 298 daily flights.
