SpiceJet to fly non-stop to London

Low-cost carrier SpiceJet will launch non-stop flights connecting Delhi and Mumbai with London’s Heathrow airport from December 4. These flights will operate under the air bubble agreement with the UK, the airline said in a statement on Monday.

“The airline will operate thrice a week to London, including twice from Delhi and once a week from Mumbai,” the airline said. SpiceJet will use an Airbus A330-900 Neo aircraft for these flights. The 371-seater twin-aisle A330 has a configuration of 353 economy and 18 business class seats.

“This is a huge milestone for us and I am proud of the fact that SpiceJet will be the first Indian low-cost airline to operate non-stop long-haul flights to the UK.
