Trichy: SpiceJet launched its inaugural flight to Colombo from Madurai on Thursday with much fanfare. But what many did not know was that the usual Trichy-Chennai SpiceJet was cancelled on the same day. Passengers speculated that this Chennai-Trichy-Chennai SpiceJet was diverted to Madurai-Colomobo-Madurai, and the neglect of Trichy's airport was complete as Friday's Chennai-Trichy-Chennai service too was cancelled.
Denying that the Trichy flight was diverted to Colombo, a SpiceJet manager said, "There were many cancellations on Thursday due to technical reasons." A ticketing staff said fewer than 12 passengers had been booked on the Trichy-Chennai 70-seater flight on Thursday, and it was cancelled due to commercial reasons. Those passengers who had booked on SpiceJet on Thursday and Friday were refunded.
