More low-cost flights spread wings abroad

Mumbai: Indian low-cost carriers (LCC) are expanding their wings in the international skies.
On Friday, Spice Jet announced the opening of bookings for Dubai from Mumbai and Delhi from June 25. The airline had already made a small foray into international sectors with flights between Delhi-Kathmandu and Chennai-Colombo. Indigo, another LCC, also started international flights last year. Industry observers see the expansion as a boon for passengers who will get more competitive fares to choose from.
Officials in the industry said GoAir has also applied for permissions to go international despite not having the requisite number of aircraft. It has 12 aircraft when the requirement for international operations is a fleet of 20.
