SpiceJet heavy discounts boost flight bookings by 300%

The beleaguered carrier, Spicejet's is back with delightful offers for the air travellers. And this has resulted in a spurt of flight bookings on online travel portal.

"With flight ticket prices lesser than train fares from SpiceJet, this is by far the best deal for travellers this year. SpiceJet is looking to aggressively regain market share and we have seen their bookings on our website grow exponentially by over 300%," said Sharat Dhall, president of Yatra.com.

He further added, "Sectors like Goa, Kerala, Pune and Hyderabad as well as intra-metro routes have seen the most bookings. We expect SpiceJet bookings to continue to grow in the next couple of days and anticipate other airlines to follow suit with offers of their own."

The carrier, which went through a serious financial crisis by the end of 2014, has once again come up with flash sale, this time selling the tickets lower than the railways. Spicejet is now offering tickets at Rs 599.
