SpiceJet offers cutting edge roving check-in facility

SpiceJet, the most preferred low-cost airline in the country, has now gone live with roving check-in at the Mumbai and Delhi airports and plans to implement it in other 15 airports it flies to in phases.

In contrast to the existing conventional check-in facility where passengers stand in queue for check-in and receive their boarding passes, the roving check-in facility provides hassle free air travel experience where the SpiceJet's staff will approach the passengers directly at the airport with hand-held PDAs and handover their boarding passes on the spot.



Announcing the roving check-in facility, SpiceJet's spokesperson Ajay Jasra said, "SpiceJet has initially inducted the hand-held PDAs and Bluetooth enabled mobile printers at Delhi and Mumbai airport looking at the rising number of passengers. This service, in future, will also be extended to smaller cities like Jaipur, Goa, Guwahati, Varanasi and Kochi."

SpiceJet plans more flights and hotel tie-ups

Pune: More take-offs on existing routes, package deals with the hospitality industry, and even an entry into the international markets, is what SpiceJet has on the cards for itself.

According to Kamal Hingorani, vice-president, marketing and planning, SpiceJet, the month of October could see the airline commencing flights from Pune to Chennai, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.



Pune-Chennai would have a daily, direct flight, while it would fly Pune-Hyderabad on all days except Tuesday. The Pune-Ahmedabad flight would be weekly service every Tuesday.

Hingorani said that there would be four departures and arrivals. Inaugural fares are to be pegged at Rs1,699 for the Pune-Chennai route, and Rs799 for the Pune-Hyderabad route, plus taxes as applicable.

The Pune-Ahmedabad route was somewhat of a relaunch for the airline, as previously it had been a night slot that had been discontinued.

SpiceJet is also planning flights to Port Blair, which would originate from Chennai and Kolkata. Also on the anvil are plans to connect Pune with Kochi and Goa. These flights are expected to taxi onto the Pune runway, once it's resurfacing is completed around March 2008.

Incidentally, SpiceJet has also reduced its Delhi-Mumbai flights from six to one.

Hingorani also said that SpiceJet was negotiating with hospitality companies in Goa and Kochi, for possible tie-ups with three- and four-star hotels. Presently, the airline was targeting only stand-alone hotels in these cities, and expects to launch these packages in about three months.

SpiceJet is awaiting government approval for going international. Hingorani added that the airline has identified West and South East Asia to as its first ports of call for its international operations. The South East Asian locations would probably be Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore while the foremost location in West Asia would be Dubai, according to the company.

Deccan, SpiceJet lose mkt share

Hit by monsoon blues, budget carriers, Air Deccan and SpiceJet, have suffered loss in market share during July 2007 — the latest month for which official traffic data is available. According to Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) figures, full-service carriers marginally increased their market share during the month.


Country’s largest low-cost carrier, Air Deccan, saw its market share going down to 16.1% in July this year, down by 2 percentage points as compared to the previous month. SpiceJet’s share stood at 7.7% during the month as against 7.7% in June.
SpiceJet’s seat factor declined to 71.4% during July as compared to 77.9% in June. Seat factor of Air Deccan fell too sharply in July to 67.7% from 84.8% in June. The declining share of the two low-cost players is probably on account of hike in fares which has improved their revenues.

SpiceJet officials, however, could not be contacted for comment. Market share of full service airlines — Indian, Jet Airways and Kingfisher –– increased marginally. The market share of Indian went up to 20.5% in July as compared to 19.8% in June. Jet, the market leader, increased its share to 22.7% as compared to 22% in the previous month. Kingfisher increased its market share to 13% in July as compared to 12.9% in June.

SpiceJet eyes south, east for global flight

SpiceJet is focusing on the southern and eastern sectors, which will ultimately help its international ambitions.

The low-cost carrier’s logic is that since the two sectors generate the maximum traffic on the Gulf and Asean (Association of South East Asian Nations) regions, it makes sense to focus there.

Samyukth Sridharan, chief commercial officer, SpiceJet, told DNA Money that the Asean and Middle East (once the government allows other domestic carriers to fly to this region) countries were on its radar.

“The east and south generate a lot of traffic to the Asean and Gulf regions and thus it makes sense to bolster our network in these two zones now. We have already consolidated our network in the west and north,” Sridharan said.

Port Blair is another destination the carrier is keen on and has filed for schedules on the route.

SpiceJet is not looking at investing in any more aircraft for its prospective overseas services and would operate with its existing fleet.

Book aisle, window seats and pay extra

Following the global model adopted by LCCs to increase cash flow, one of the leading Indian players, SpiceJet, has started online blocking of seats by charging Rs 50 for each passenger.

The biggest LCC, Air Deccan, also says it will also levy a charge for booking once seat numbers get institutionalised in its reservation system. Other no-frill carriers may also have to follow suit to earn some much-needed money as almost all airlines are making losses.

SpiceJet's single configuration Boeing 737 has 189 seats in 32 rows. The most preferred remain window or aisle seats that means 128 seats can attract this premium booking charge.

So now SpiceJet has now enabled itself to earn up to Rs 8,850 more from each flight and with the airline operating 86 flights daily between 15 destinations, this figure goes up to a whopping Rs 7.6 lakh. This figure can only get healthier as more planes join the fleet and daily flights increase.

SpiceJet expects to fly overseas by next year

Domestic low-cost carrier SpiceJet on Friday said it may to start flights to overseas destinations with the relaxation of civil aviation policy for new carriers to fly abroad.

"By next year we expect to get a license to fly abroad. We will fly shorter destinations, which are similar to those we are operating in India," Spicejet Director Ajay Singh told media.

Asked about the possible destinations, he said it has not been finalised yet as the government policy was not clear.

"We have not finalised any destination. There is not much of clarity on the new aviation policy but we believe that government has relaxed norms for minimum flying experience to three years form the earlier five years," Singh said.

On the company's fleet expansion plans, he said with $350-400 million loan from the US Exim expected to be cleared the carrier would add 10 aircraft between 2009 and 2011.

Currently, SpiceJet has 14 planes, which will be taken up to 19 by March 2008 and to 26 by December 2008. It would be starting its Delhi-Kochi direct flight by August 26, while it is already flying in the Delhi-Bangalore-Kochi sector.

SpiceJet Aircraft makes emergency landing

Over 119 passengers were stranded for hours after a Spice Jet flight in which they were travelling landed under emergency conditions at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Begumpet early on Thursday after it developed a technical snag mid-air.

The pilot of the Boeing 391 Hyderabad-Ahmedabad-Jaipur flight detected a technical glitch minutes after it took off from the runway around 6 a.m. and landed safely as staffers were kept on standby. All the passengers on board were safe. The aircraft was later towed to the taxiway for a thorough inspection.

Spice Jet spokesperson Ajay Jasra said a separate flight was arranged and passengers shifted to their respective destinations at 11.30 a.m. Passengers argued with the staff in the airport for not providing information on flight departure as cancellation .

Airport Director R. K. Singla said the incident occurred when the flight was about to take off from the runway. “We don’t know the technical problems that led to the delay,” he added.

SpiceJet Registers Robust Growth of 121%

SpiceJet Limited has announced its audited results for Financial Period FY 06-07 covering performance of 10 months from 1 Jun'06 to 31 Mar'07. Total revenues for the period registered a robust growth of 121% at Rs 748 crores versus Rs 339 crores for comparable period of 10 months of previous financial year, (Rs. 453 crores in 12 months of FY 05-06). The company will henceforth follow the tax fiscal year of April-March.

On operating levels, the company reported an income of Rs. 640 crores and operating expenses of Rs. 659 crores in spite of the fact that the reporting period does not include two peak travel months of April and May.

The company has taken a conservative approach and adopted changes in accounting policies for certain capitalized / deferred items which have been now written off. But for these, the net loss would have been lower by Rs 5.4 crores.

During the reporting period, the company has doubled its average deployed fleet to 8.17 aircrafts versus 4.08 aircrafts for comparable previous year. As of today the company operates 11 aircrafts to 14 destinations. The number of passengers flown has also increased by 95% to 2.61 million compared to 1.34 million in comparable previous period.

The company has managed to improve the Net Revenue / passenger to Rs 2320 from Rs 2209 in comparable previous year.

While announcing the results Partha Sarathi Basu, CFO SpiceJet said that "Spicejet will be adding 8 more aircrafts to its fleet during the current year. The expanded capacity will deliver its potential business during the current year through growth in passenger numbers. With continued focus on cost and improved yields the company targets to achieve Break Even during the current financial year."
