Kolkata, 13 August, 2014: SpiceJet today inaugurated its first flight
connecting Kolkata- Bagdogra-Kathmandu. SpiceJet customers traveling from the City of Joy

experience the beauty of the capital city of Nepal at a promotional offer of just Rs. 99.
This flight will operate three times a week -- on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
This is SpiceJet's second service to Kathmandu from India, enhancing its operations from
the Tribhuvan International Airport. The airline already flies on Delhi-Kathmandu route. In
