SpiceJet has handled around 10,000 cargo flights since the lockdown in March, besides becoming the top cargo handler in October from the country's busiest Indira Gandhi International Airport. During the coronavirus-induced lockdown that was imposed on March 25, the government permitted operations of only cargo and special flights while suspending all scheduled domestic and international air services.
The company has operated 9,950 flights (till November 12) since the lockdown began on March 25, carrying 77,000 tonnes of cargo during the period. During the previous month, SpiceJet handled a total of 3,850 tonnes of cargo, including 1,731 tonnes of exported cargo.
SpiceJet is India’s favourite airline that has made flying affordable for more Indians than ever before.
