SpiceJet flights to Chennai, Hyderabad & Ahmedabad soon

Nagpur: Air passengers demanding direct flights from Nagpur to southern metro cities have reason to cheer. SpiceJet has proposed direct early morning flights between Nagpur-Chennai, Nagpur-Hyderabad and most likely Nagpur-Ahmedabad from Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport by the year-end.
With SpiceJet's plans to start flights to Chennai and Ahmedabad, the Orange City will be directly air-linked with both cities for the first time.
On Sunday, SpiceJet started its flights from Nagpur to Bangalore and Delhi, adding more daily options for flyers to both cities. The flight will be operated from Delhi and Bangalore and will have a halt at Nagpur in both directions. The airline will fly its new generation Boeing 737-800 (189 seater) aircraft on this route and the fares (inclusive of all taxes and charges) will begin from Rs 2,585 on both sectors.
SpiceJet chief executive officer Neil Mills said, "Nagpur has become a major commercial and political centre for Maharashtra, besides being a popular tourist destination. With Mihan, the city has shown significant demand for cost effective and convenient travel option, which is why SpiceJet has selected Nagpur to start its flights."
