“The UDAN scheme will now go into several smaller destinations where there have been no flights and it will also include seaplane operations and SpiceJet NSE -0.25 % hopes to be a part of the UDAN scheme and strengthen its position there,” says Ajay Singh, CMD, SpiceJet
You have expansion plans. You were supposed to receive aircraft?
We have received seven aircraft so far. We expect to receive another five over the next few weeks and the idea is to expand SpiceJet’s network both domestically and internationally. We have started flights to Italy and there will be several other international destinations that SpiceJet will be starting in the next few days. We expect these wet lease aircraft, the majority of which are the fuel efficient Max Aircraft, will help us in expanding our network.
