TBM Staff - Mumbai SpiceJet is set to launch UDAN flights connecting Shivamogga in Karnataka with Chennai and Hyderabad, starting today.
This launch marks Shivamogga’s addition as a new station on SpiceJet’s domestic network and is the airline’s first new destination following its successful INR 3,000 Crore Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), which has bolstered the airline’s expansion and growth plans.
The new flights will operate daily, except Tuesdays.
Additionally, SpiceJet is launching a double daily flight connecting the key cities of Chennai and Kochi, also starting today. This increased frequency will cater to the high demand for travel between these two important destinations.
Debojo Maharshi, Chief Business Officer, SpiceJet, said, “We are excited to add Shivamogga to our network and connect it with Chennai and Hyderabad, two major economic hubs. This expansion reinforces our commitment to improving regional connectivity under the UDAN scheme and offering affordable, seamless travel options to more passengers across India. Additionally, the double daily flights between Chennai and Kochi demonstrate our commitment to meeting the strong demand on this route. We are proud to be bringing more cities closer together, fostering greater economic opportunities.”
The airline will deploy its 78-seater De Havilland Canada Q-400 aircraft on these routes. Bookings are now open on www.spicejet.com, SpiceJet’s mobile app and through online travel portals and travel agents.
