According to a press release,
piceJet will add a series of new routes to Jaipur. A popular tourist destination, also known as the “Pink City,” Jaipur attracts millions of tourists every year. This year, SpiceJet is seizing on falling COVID-19 cases and demand for leisure travel to launch new connections.
Starting February 1st and 10th, the airline will launch several new routes to the city. This includes daily flights to Jaipur from Delhi, Udaipur, Surat (and onward to Goa), four weekly flights from Dehradun, and three weekly services from Amristar.
To promote the new services, introductory one-way fares ranging from ₹2,400 ($33) to ₹4,300 ($59). In addition to Jaipur, SpiceJet is also adding a second daily service between Delhi and Dehradun, another popular leisure destination.
In a statement about the new routes, Chief Commercial Officer Shilpa Bhatia said, “There can’t be a better time to launch multiple flights to connect this picturesque and historical city with other major cities owing to the perfect weather conditions for travel and tourism. As Covid cases are slowly diminishing, travel destinations like Jaipur make a perfect weekend get-away for everyone with special introductory prices on one-way fares. Plus, we will keep adding new flights to various other Tier-2 cities offering great potential.”
Regional routes
SpiceJet also announced a new regional route from Kolkata to Pakyong, a town in the neighboring state of Sikkim. The flights will operate five times a week using the 78-seat Bombardier Q400. This route falls under the government’s UDAN-RCS (Regional Connectivity Scheme) plan, which provides subsidies to airlines offering flights to smaller, Tier two cities within India.
