New Delhi: SpiceJet expects a “significant" difference to its income from the Government’s decision to allow domestic airlines to charge separately for various services, including preferential seating and checked-in bags.
However, the airline is yet to announce its strategy for what is called the unbundling of services as there are no clear guidelines on this, SpiceJet’s Chief Executive Officer Neil Mills said.
In an exclusive interview to Business Line, he said: “We have not announced unbundling as it is not full unbundling. Every one has said, ‘yes fine, you can unbundle’. But when other carriers started to unbundle, there was a huge regulatory issue and (they have) not been able to do it. We are waiting to see where the regulatory environment actually settles down.” He said some carriers had unbundled services on the lines of international carriers, but “there has been a huge backlash against them.”
