SpiceJet announces 75% fare cut on flights between April and June

SpiceJet said that this offer comes after the overwhelming success of two similar schemes before. Like the two schemes before, the latest sale also aims at making those seats available to passengers at highly discounted advance purchase rates which would otherwise go empty, the release said. “We received overwhelming positive feedback from customers who booked the earlier ‘Super Sales’ for taking the lead in making air travel more affordable, where travelers can now book more spontaneously and more often by air, and also for attracting many first time travelers,” SpiceJet Chief Operating Officer Sanjiv Kapoor said. These advance purchase offers are a win-win for customers, for airlines, and for the travel industry, he said. PTI
