Budget carrier SpiceJet is to add 10 new sectors, 30 new frequencies and 22 connecting flights in its new winter time table, the airline announced on Friday.
The statement adds that the winter schedule will see the airline operate 291 daily flights up from the current 250 daily flights. Globally, the winter timetables of airlines begin on the last Sunday of October. SpiceJet also announced that it will be adding six new aircraft, including four Airbus A320 and two Boeing 737 aircraft to its existing fleet strength in the next 30 days.
From October 25, the airline will begin operations on the Ahmedabad–Goa, Mumbai–Varanasi, and Varanasi–Hyderabad routes, while the flights between Khozhikode–Dubai and Amritsar–Dubai routes will start from November 15.
The airline has enhanced its frequencies on multiple routes such as Mumbai–Chennai, Delhi–Chennai, Goa–Mumbai, Delhi–Kolkata, Kolkata–Agartala, Mumbai–Kochi, Hyderabad–Mumbai, and Chennai–Madurai amongst many others, the statement adds.
Varanasi gets a new connection to Hyderabad and Mumbai and the connecting flight to Coimbatore and Bengaluru. Agartala not only gets increased flights to Kolkata, but flyers also have the opportunity to travel through Kolkata onwards to Delhi and Chennai. In effect, what this will mean is that a passenger travelling say from Chennai to Agartala will continue in the same aircraft and will not have to change aircraft to reach their final destination.
