No-frills carrier SpiceJet to launch New Delhi-Kabul flight from Aug 14
NEW DELHI: Expanding its network on
international routes, no-frills carrier SpiceJet
will launch its direct flight to Kabul from New Delhi starting from August 14.
"The launch of Kabul services is a milestone for the airline as SpiceJet
would be the sole private Indian carrier to operate services to this
country," an airline spokesperson said.
The Kalanithi Maran-promoted airline currently operates in three international
destinations with four routes - Delhi- Kathmandu, Delhi-Dubai, Chennai-Colombo
and Mumbai-Dubai.
The sale of ticket will be open from today and the commercial flights would
start from August 14, he added.
"Kabul is a very important destination for us. India and Afghanistan
have ancient cultural connections and the launch of new services would bridge
the distance between the two countries and help to enhance this old
relationship," SpiceJet CEO Neil Mills said.
The airline would be initially operating flights three days a week (Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday) on the route, which would be serviced by a Boeing
737-800 aircraft, it said.
In the domestic market, SpiceJet connects 37 cities with a fleet of 47 aircraft
comprising Boeing's
737 and Bombardier
Q400 NextGen Turboprop.
