SpiceJet, arguably the most aggressive low-cost carrier in India, said it has resumed normal operations from Chennai starting from December 8, 2015, making it the first airline to commence full-fledged services from the airport with all its 34 flights taking off on Day 1.
Air travel to and fro Chennai had been disrupted by week-long rains and flooding. Chennai airport is built over a low-lying area and has a runway that is constructed over a river.
“We are very happy to resume normal operations from Chennai and feel extremely proud to associate ourselves with the ongoing relief program to support Chennai. We will extend every possible help to ensure uninterrupted supply of relief material.” said GP Gupta, Chief Administrative Officer and Accountable Manager, SpiceJet.
The airline had also operated a special flight on December 4, 2015, from Rajali naval air station in Arakkonan to Bengaluru, thereby evacuating all its stranded passengers from Chennai.
