SpiceJet eyes south, east for global flight

Kolkata: SpiceJet is focusing on the southern and eastern sectors, which will ultimately help its international ambitions.
The low-cost carrier’s logic is that since the two sectors generate the maximum traffic on the Gulf and Asean (Association of South East Asian Nations) regions, it makes sense to focus there.
Samyukth Sridharan, chief commercial officer, SpiceJet, told DNA Money that the Asean and Middle East (once the government allows other domestic carriers to fly to this region) countries were on its radar.
“The east and south generate a lot of traffic to the Asean and Gulf regions and thus it makes sense to bolster our network in these two zones now. We have already consolidated our network in the west and north,” Sridharan said.
Port Blair is another destination the carrier is keen on and has filed for schedules on the route.
SpiceJet is not looking at investing in any more aircraft for its prospective overseas services and would operate with its existing fleet.
