SpiceJet plans 100 new daily flights as IndiGo cuts winter schedule

SpiceJet is preparing to add up to 100 new daily flights during the current winter schedule. The move comes at a time when air travel demand is rising sharply and IndiGo has been forced to reduce its winter operations due to its ongoing disruptions.

SpiceJet said the decision is aimed at strengthening capacity on key routes and ensuring that passengers have enough travel options during the busy winter season.

“We plan to introduce up to 100 additional daily flights during the current winter schedule, subject to regulatory approvals,” the airline said in a statement.

The announcement followed the government’s decision to order a 10% cut in IndiGo’s winter schedule to help the crisis-hit airline stabilise after major disruptions that began on December 1.
