Spicejet to soon start flights to Ras Al Khaimah; also plans to establish new airline there

SpiceJet will first start flight operations between India and Ras Al Khaimah by early next year and after that establish a new airline in the UAE city, said it’s Chairman and Managing Director Ajay Singh on Wednesday. “Just like we operate flights to Dubai, we can operate flight to Ras Al Khaimah,” he said, adding that while bilateral rights between Indian cities and Ras Al Khaimah are thin, “let us start the flight operations first, let us explore the market, because we believe there are good possibilities”.

“From Ras Al Khaimah, there are onward (flight) possibilities to Eastern Europe,” he added. When asked how many aircraft there will be in the new airline, he replied, “We have no idea yet. We are first applying. We are studying the market. At this time, the focus is really on first (starting) the flight into Ras Al Khaimah from India. So that flight we are hoping we can start soon, hopefully by the beginning of next year.”
