DGCA objects to SpiceJet’s promotional offer

No-frill carrier SpiceJet Limited on Monday withdrew its promotional ‘1+1’ offering after aviation watchdog The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) objected to the airline’s move.

The Gurgaon-based carrier had earlier offered discounted one-way base fares starting at ₹ 899, while also offering a free flight voucher worth the base fare of the booked flight for a limited period.

The five-day sale offer was launched on Monday and passengers could fly till 31 March next year on tickets brought under the scheme.

The DGCA has blocked the offer as the agency wanted to keep it simple for passengers, said an agency spokesperson.
