Gurgaon, 23 September, 2014: SpiceJet today introduced a simple
self-booking innovative tool, 'SME Traveller', exclusively for the SMEs. This product
has been especially designed to address the needs of business travellers from the
micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector. SpiceJet is the first airline in
India to introduce a dedicated and seamless travel management platform for SME business
travellers, offering flexibility and opportunity to save on every booking.
SMEs can avail attractive fares (up to 10 percent discount), “Spice Points” upon each
completed travel, simplified booking process and detailed travel and savings reports.
SpiceJet’s new SME product allows qualifying firms to manage their cost, schedule and
overall travel requirements dynamically and proactively. This product enables
individual business travellers of the registered SMEs to manage their travel needs on
their own, while providing complete visibility and transparency to the SME business and
travel managers.
“SME Traveller is aimed to target nearly 70-100 million MSMEs in the country who
contribute to 8% of the country’s GDP (source: CII). MSMEs are also credited in
contributing to 36% of the total value of exports from the Country and the sector has
recorded a constant year on year growth of over 10% thereby making this sector the
backbone of Country’s economy. Hence we definitely see a business need to reach out to
this section,” said Mr. Kaneswaran Avili, Chief Commercial Officer, SpiceJet
Ltd.
Spice Points, a new product from SpiceJet, enables the SME Traveller obtain further
discounts on their future travel. Each completed travel accumulates Spice Points, which
are then reflected against future booking searches as well as in the traveller’s
profile. These Spice Points are as good as cash and can be redeemed by the SME
traveller against subsequent booking(s).
Customers travelling by SpiceJet can also pre-book their meals to avoid last minute
disappointments, and can get to enjoy SpiceMax seats with significantly more legroom
and priority check-in for a modest add-on fee if they so choose during the booking
process or anytime after, using the manage my booking option. This option is also
available for bookings made through travel agents.
SpiceJet has recently waived off the convenience fee for customers using internet
banking to make payments through SpiceJet.com
