SpiceJet announces daily flight on Delhi-Pakyong route from January 23
Budget carrier SpiceJet, which was the first domestic operator to land a commercial flight at Sikkim’s Pakyong airport from Kolkata in early October of 2018, has now announced to connect the aerodrome from Delhi with a non-stop daily service, starting January 23. The air services on the new route, to be operated by a Bombardier 400 aircraft, will be offered under the government’s regional connectivity scheme UDAN, SpiceJet said on Friday.
Besides, the airline said it will also add a second frequency on the Delhi-Leh-Delhi sector from January 27 onwards.
The Pakyong airport is the only operational civil airport handling commercial flight operations in Sikkim, and SpiceJet will be the first and only airline to offer daily direct air connectivity between Delhi and the northeastern state, it said.
