Spicejet Offers Fares At Rs 1,699; Puts One Lakh Seats On The Block

New Delhi : Budget carrier SpiceJet put one lakh seats up for grabs on both its domestic and international routes as it rolled out another discount sale offer with tickets priced as low as Rs 1,699 for travel within the country. The latest offer — of all-inclusive fares as low as Rs 1,699 for flights across its domestic network and Rs 3,799 for international routes with a three-day booking window — comes a day after SpiceJet’s ownership went back to its original promoter, Ajay Singh.

Bookings under this latest offer, ‘Colour the Skies’, are now open for a travel period between March 1 to April 20 and will close at midnight on February 26, the airline said in a release. This is the fifth low fare scheme this year from SpiceJet with the first of these having been unveiled on January 28.

Under the offer, tickets on routes like Hyderabad- Vijayawada, Delhi-Dehradun, Guwahati-Kolkata, Ahmedabad -Mumbai, and Bangalore-Hyderabad are priced at an all- inclusive Rs 1,699, the airline said.

Similarly, fares for international flights start at as low as Rs 3,799 (all inclusive) for Delhi to Kathmandu, with discounted fares available on most other international routes too, SpiceJet said.

Singh Back As Promoter; Marans Exit

Completing its ownership transfer, SpiceJet said Ajay Singh has become the promoter after acquiring the entire 58.46 per cent stake from the Marans.  Singh, the original promoter of SpiceJet, is now back at the helm as part of a revival plan that would also be seeing a capital infusion of Rs 1,500 crore into the low-cost carrier.

SpiceJet has cleared its major dues related to Income Tax (TDS) payments, the airline said. SpiceJet had earlier this month also cleared all service tax dues andemployee salaries.  SpiceJet had dues worth Rs 236.53 crore to Airports Authority of India (AAI).
