SpiceJet is going to start flights connecting Bhavnagar in Gujarat with Pune and Mumbai from May 5 onwards. The airline will also start additional flights on the Ahmedabad-Pune route.
The Bhavnagar-Pune flight will operate under the Central government's UDAN scheme. Under the UDAN scheme, financial incentives from the Centre, state governments and airport operators are extended to selected airlines to encourage operations from unserved and underserved airports and to keep airfares affordable. The company will deploy its Q400 aircraft for the flights.
SpiceJet is among the first private companies that stepped into the Indian aviation sector.
