There have been some media reports with sensational but misleading headlines like “Spice
cancels 3,450 flights in January”. SpiceJet clarifies that these are not new or
incremental cancellations, these are for the most part the flights that were already
removed from the schedule in November and December as an outcome of our fleet
reduction, which resulted in our daily flights reducing from 345 flights a day in the
summer to 230 flights a day.
The schedule will remain at the reduced level until the recapitalization of the airline
is completed and aircraft added back to its fleet. Even with the reduced schedule,
SpiceJet is scheduled to operate over 7,000 flights in the month of January. SpiceJet
once again appeals to the media to avoid sensationalist reporting as it does a
disservice not just to the airline, but to passengers, the general public, the aviation
industry, and the nation at large.
