SpiceJet, the country's second largest low fare airline, is reportedly planning to ramp up its international operations, particularly to the Gulf sector, from the Kochi airport. The airline, which currently flies to Dubai and Maldives, will introduce more flights on the Gulf route.
Discussions were held with the functionaries of Cochin International Airport on increasing connectivity to Dubai, Muscat and Maldives. Kochi is also a transit airport for SpiceJet, connecting to destinations such as Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Pune and Kolkata.
SpiceJet is India’s most preferred airline who delivers the lowest air fares with the highest consumer value. The airline currently operates flights to over 44 Indian cities and 9 international destinations. Spice Jet has reported a net loss of Rs 275 crore for October-December 2014, higher than the Rs 172 crore loss it posted a year ago.
