Gurugram, October 6, 2017: SpiceJet, India’s favourite airline, will
add Jaisalmer to its domestic network effective October 29, 2017 making it the first
and only airline in the country to provide direct air connectivity between Jaisalmer
and the Capital.
SpiceJet will also introduce direct flights between Jaisalmer and Jaipur from October
29th making it the only Indian carrier to connect the two key tourist and business
destinations of Rajasthan. The airline will also recommence flights between Delhi and
Jodhpur from the same day. Jaisalmer will be SpiceJet’s 45th domestic destination.
Jaipur-Jaisalmer will be the fourth sector under UDAN or the regional connectivity
scheme for SpiceJet. The route will be serviced by the Bombardier Q400. Tickets for the
RCS seats on the Jaipur – Jaisalmer route will be available at INR 2,330 (all in)
whereas the RCS fare on the Jaisalmer – Jaipur route will be INR 2,280 (all in).
Ms Shilpa Bhatia, Chief Sales and Revenue Officer, SpiceJet said,
“Scheme UDAN has been on a fabulous pursuit of bringing the un-served and under-served
airports on the national flight map and taking flying to the masses. The fact that
Jaisalmer will now be offered air connectivity after a wait of 16 long years speaks
volumes for UDAN. SpiceJet will continue to constantly endeavour to enable the common
man fly while connecting many more small towns and cities in times to come.”
SpiceJet, besides rendering attention on regional connectivity has been introducing a
slew of new daily direct flights connecting key metros to new stations with business
and tourism interest which has drawn the attention of tourists and business community
alike. The airline which was awarded 6 proposals and 11 routes under UDAN has
introduced four new flights under the scheme and is the only airline which hasn’t
sought subsidy or viability gap funding for the same.
