Gurgaon, 19th May, 2015: SpiceJet, the country’s #2 and most innovative
low fare airline, turns 10 this week! To celebrate the occasion the airline today
launched a special discount offer called the #CelebrationSale with fares starting as
low as Rs 1,010 all inclusive.
SpiceJet, which flew its first commercial flight between New Delhi and Ahmedabad in 2005
on a Boeing 737 aircraft, completes its first decade of flying on May 23, 2015. In this
period, SpiceJet has helped fundamentally transform the airline industry in India with
its network, pricing, promotions, product, branding, and marketing initiatives. In the
process, it has created the “SpiceJet Effect”, which through advance revenue management
and demand stimulation efforts, has helped make average airfares in India more
affordable than ever before, driving record passenger growth in the industry.
SpiceJet was also amongst the first low cost airlines to offer hot meals for sale on
board, the first to offer dedicated extra legroom seats in a specially configured
cabin, and the first to innovate in multiple other ways such as through the
introduction of Bombardier Q400 turbo-prop aircraft to fly to smaller cities, through
its popular weekend uniform, and through its unique celebrations of festivals such as
Holi and Diwali.
“When SG101 took off from Delhi bound for Ahmedabad on May 23 2005, the iPhone was still
two years away, Twitter was still a year away, and Facebook and YouTube were new-born
babies. In that sense SpiceJet was one of the new breed of ventures – young, dynamic,
different, friendly and approachable and with a sense of humour, somewhat iconoclastic,
and with a refusal to accept the status quo. Ten years later, our DNA remains the same,
which is why we are the warmest, friendliest, trendiest, and most fun airline in India
today, the airline with spunk and with heart, the airline that has truly enabled more
Indians to fly than ever before. Through ups and downs, the SpiceJet passion and spirit
has never dimmed” said Mr. Sanjiv Kapoor, Chief Operating Officer, SpiceJet
Ltd.
“With this Celebration Sale, we are pleased to offer even more customers the chance to
fly with one of the most colourful and innovative airlines in India today”, he
added.
The three day sale launched today and will be open till midnight, May 21. The travel
period covered in this sale is July 1, 2015 to October 15, 2015. The offer is available
