No-frills carrier SpiceJet will start flights from the North East to Bangladesh and Myanmar by the end of June and aims to bring back four grounded planes, including two Boeing 737 aircraft, back into service by June 15. The airline, which completed 18 years of operations on Tuesday, is facing financial headwinds and has undertaken a "restructuring exercise" to further reduce the liabilities.
In a release, the carrier said it will start two international UDAN flights on the Agartala-Chattogram-Agartala and Imphal-Mandalay-Imphal sectors by June-end.
"The airline also plans to launch a new UDAN flight on Kolkata-Tezpur-Kolkata sector and restart Kolkata-Gwalior-Kolkata and Jammu-Gwalior-Jammu UDAN flights. In addition, SpiceJet will launch flights on Kolkata-Agartala-Kolkata and Kolkata-Imphal-Kolkata sectors and restart flights on Kolkata-Chattogram-Kolkata sector," it said.
UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Naagrik) or the regional air connectivity scheme of the Indian government is aimed at making flying more affordable for people.
Meanwhile, the airline is working to bring back 25 of its grounded aircraft back into service.
"The airline is targeting the return of four of its grounded aircraft, two Boeing 737s and two Q400s, by June 15. More planes will be back in operations in the following weeks," the release said.
