GURUGRAM, September 24, 2018: : SpiceJet, the country’s favourite
carrier, today announced the launch of four new direct flights to Maharashtra. SpiceJet
will be the first and only airline to provide air connectivity to the temple town of
Shirdi with daily direct flights from Delhi. Flights on Shirdi-Delhi-Shirdi sector will
start from 1st October.
Home to the famous temple dedicated to Shri SaiBaba, the Maharashtrian town of Shirdi
receives an estimated 60,000 pilgrims every day. With the new flights launched,
tourists who otherwise take a rail or road tour can conveniently switch to a more
convenient and time sensitive travel mode.
Additionally the airline has also launched a new daily direct flight on the route of
Mumbai-Kanpur effective from 8th October thereby becoming the first airline to connect
the country’s financial capital and UP’s commercial capital. With the introduction of
the daily direct flight services on the Mumbai-Kanpur-Mumbai route, passengers from
Kanpur can now conveniently travel to a host of other cities both on SpiceJet’s
domestic as well as international network via multiple onward connections from Mumbai.
The airline will also operate first direct flight on the Mumbai-Jaisalmer route
starting 29th October and third direct flight on Mumbai-Kolkata route from 1 November.
Shilpa Bhatia, Chief Sales and Revenue Officer, SpiceJet said, “This is
indeed a proud moment for us and a celebrated milestone for Indian aviation as SpiceJet
becomes the first and only airline to connect Shirdi with Delhi. Our new flight will
offer an immediate boost to religious tourism that the city is best known for.”
Inaugurated by the Hon’ble President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind, Shirdi received its
first operational airport in October last year. With the introduction of daily direct
flight services on the route, passengers from Shirdi can now conveniently travel to a
host of other cities both on SpiceJet’s domestic as well as international network via
multiple onward connections from Delhi.
