New Delhi: SpiceJet is keen to operate more flights to Dubai, a senior airline official who declined to be identified has said, adding that Dubai was a profitable route for the airline.
SpiceJet will look at increasing the frequency of flights to Dubai from the existing five cities that it operates to currently and also look at connecting other cities in India with Dubai, he added.
India and Dubai recently allowed airlines to offer another 11,000 seats a week. The Government is yet to decide on the airlines that will be allowed to operate more flights between the two countries.
SpiceJet is also planning to restart flights to Guangzhou in China, the official said.
“Globally airlines which operate narrow body aircraft (like SpiceJet which operates the Boeing 737 aircraft) look at operating to destinations which are about four hours away. This ensures that the aircraft does not depend on one route alone to make money. This is one of the key reasons that we are reworking some of our operations,” the official said.
