Budget carrier SpiceJet has declared that it would operate 21 new domestic and international flights from January 12. In Odisha, SpiceJet will introduce four new flights connecting Jharsuguda to Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Bengaluru, directly.
This will make SpiceJet the first and only airline to connect Jharsuguda directly with Mumbai and Bengaluru. The airline company is also introducing Boeing 737 on the Delhi-Jharsuguda route instead of the Bombardier Q400, which will lead to an increase in seating capacity.
Shilpa Bhatia, Chief Commercial Officer, SpiceJet said, “Providing air connectivity to the smaller towns and cities of India has always been a top priority for SpiceJet. We are pleased to announce the launch of 21 new flights which will offer additional flying options and travel flexibility at affordable prices. We see immense potential in these routes that will help cater to the increased demand from leisure as well as business travellers besides enhancing connectivity between metros and non-metros.”
“SpiceJet has been relentlessly working towards enhancing air connectivity for Jharsuguda in Odisha, and we are extremely pleased to announce a host of new flights connecting the city to the key metros of Mumbai and Bengaluru,” he added.
Four flights per week will be operational on the routes of Mumbai-Jharsuguda-Mumbai and Bengaluru-Jharsuguda-Bengaluru on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile, Hyderabad- Vijayawada-Hyderabad and Hyderabad-Tirupati-Hyderabad will be operational six days a week.
