The company has announced its plans to commence several flights in the coming months. Scheduled to begin by the end of June are two international UDAN flights on the Agartala-Chattogram-Agartala and Imphal-Mandalay-Imphal routes. Additionally, they intend to launch a new UDAN flight on the Kolkata-Tezpur-Kolkata route and resume operations on the Kolkata-Gwalior-Kolkata and Jammu-Gwalior-Jammu UDAN routes.
Furthermore, SpiceJet will introduce flights on the Kolkata-Agartala-Kolkata and Kolkata-Imphal-Kolkata routes, and resume services on the Kolkata-Chattogram-Kolkata route, as stated in their press release.
SpiceJet recently announced that it has commenced the process of revitalizing its grounded fleet. The airline has utilized the funds amounting to USD 50 million received through the government’s Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS), in addition to internal cash accruals. This announcement was made earlier this month.
“We would like to address any speculations that may have emerged following the filing made by another airline,” stated a spokesperson, making a clear reference to Go First’s insolvency.
The airline affirmed its unwavering commitment to its operations and confirmed that it is actively engaging in discussions with investors to secure funding.
“We want to emphasize that there is absolutely no intention of filing for insolvency. Any rumors suggesting otherwise are entirely unfounded. Our primary focus is on rejuvenating our grounded fleet and reintroducing more aircraft into service. We have already commenced work in this direction, utilizing the USD 50 million ECLGS funds as well as our own financial resources,” stated Ajay Singh, Chairman, and Managing Director of SpiceJet.
