The leading air carrier Spicejet has been designated as Indian scheduled carrier to operate on agreed services to USA and UK from India, says a release from Spicejet.
In a filing before the Bombay Stock Exchange on Thursday, Senior Vice President (Legal) and Company Secretary Chandan Sand said.
Commenting on this, Ajay Singh, Chairman & Managing Director, SpiceJet said, “It gives me immense pleasure to share that SpiceJet has been designated as an Indian scheduled carrier to operate between India and the US. This designation would help us plan for our international expansion in a much better and calibrated manner. I have always maintained that there is an opportunity in every adversity and the present crisis situation has seen SpiceJet rise to the occasion and play a pivotal role. From operating over 4300 cargo flights to carrying over 24,000 tons of cargo to operating over 400 charter flights to bring back thousands of stranded Indian nationals back home, SpiceJet has worked non-stop and contributed in whatever manner possible.”
“After the United States, SpiceJet has now been designated as an Indian scheduled carrier to operate to the United Kingdom. The UK and the US are two of the top international destinations for airlines and we are delighted to have got this designation to operate to these two countries,” he added.
