Mumbai: Budget carrier SpiceJet today started its first international flight from Kolkata with a service to Nepal's capital Kathmandu via West Bengal's tourist hotspot Bagdogra.
The airline had last month announced a promotional fare of Rs 99 for the Bagdogra-Kathmandu leg while Rs 4,289 for Kolkata-Kathmandu journey, the company said in a release.
"We are extremely pleased with the response received for our Kathmandu-Bagdogra-Kolkata connection. This direct service will provide our customers flying from either regions much more convenience in terms of connectivity and reach," Kaneswaran Avili, Chief Commercial Officer, SpiceJet said.
SpiceJet has deployed Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft on both these routes.
The airline has already seen 5,260 bookings for its newly-launched sector since it was announced last month, SpiceJet said.
