Budget carrier SpiceJet on Thursday (June 1) launched three new daily direct flight services connecting Surat to Hyderabad, Goa and Jaipur. With these new flights, SpiceJet takes a step forward in its endeavour towards improving and strengthening connectivity from Surat.
Surat will get its first ever direct connection to Hyderabad and Goa while the diamond merchants of Surat will get their much needed daily flight to Jaipur. Jaipur and Surat have been the stronghold of diamond industries and contribute majorly to the jewellery industry in India.
Earlier Surat was connected by SpiceJet to the national capital with double daily flights from 26th March 2017 and from 1st July 2017 a daily direct flight to Patna via Kolkata will also be introduced which will further connect the textile industry with Patna and Kolkata.
The new flights will give passengers from Surat convenient onward connections from Hyderabad, Goa and Jaipur.
The new flights are a part of SpiceJet's enhanced summer schedule and will further augment its connectivity in the domestic sector. To cater to the peak summer rush, from March to October, SpiceJet had unleashed a whole new summer schedule wherein the airline has added 19 new domestic and 3 new international flights, thus offering more seats and connecting key metros and cities.
SpiceJet operates 364 average daily flights to 46 destinations, including 39 domestic and 7 international ones. The airline connects its network with a fleet of 33 Boeing 737NG and 18 Bombardier Q-400s.
