NEW DELHI: With the country’s aviation scenario getting back on track after facing major cancellations by IndiGo, another carrier Spicejet is now all set to have around 100 more daily flights in winter schedule, after the necessary regulatory approvals.
This follows a day after government curtailed 10 per cent of IndiGo’s winter schedule flights, which was a step intended to stabilise operations of the airline.
Spicejet in a statement said, “We are witnessing strong and growing demand across key routes this winter, and look forward to ramping up operations to ensure adequate capacity in India’s aviation market.”
The airline further said that as part of this effort, it plans to introduce up to 100 additional daily flights during the current winter schedule, subject to regulatory approvals.
The airline has said that during the past two months, it has brought 17 aircraft into active operations through a mix of damp-leased aircraft and the return of its own aircraft in service.
The Spicejet believes that this enhanced fleet availability gives it the operational flexibility to deploy incremental capacity on high-demand routes and improve overall network resilience.
“Our focus in the current schedule period is to add several more aircraft, maximise aircraft utilisation and strengthen connectivity through better planning,” the airline said in a statement. - The Statesman/ANN
