SpiceJet launches 19 more flights to fill Jet Airways void

SpiceJet has launched 19 more flights, including six each from New Delhi and Mumbai, marking the fourth time the airline has expanded its network in less than a month.

With the new flights, operated by Boeing 737 aircraft, SpiceJet's connectivity to Madurai, Jammu, Coimbatore, Dehradun, Jaipur and Guwahati with Mumbai will improve considerably, the airline said.

The introduction of new flight routes, coincides with the grounding of Jet Airways last month - as the company looks to fill the void left by Jet.

The airline has said that the new flights will all be in operation daily, except the services on the Mumbai-Kochi-Mumbai sector, which will be operational all days except Tuesdays.

"We are taking all measures to deal with the shortage of capacity in the market. With these new and additional flights, we aim to minimise the inconvenience caused to passengers due to the ongoing crisis in the industry," said Shilpa Bhatia, chief sales and revenue officer.
