New Delhi: Budget airline SpiceJet is going to start flights to the US. SpiceJet has now joined 'Scheduled' airline companies of India. SpiceJet is the first budget airline in the country to start operation of flights to America. Currently, only the national carrier Air India operates flights on the Indo-US route.

In a communication sent to the stock markets on Thursday, SpiceJet said that it has been recognized as India's scheduled airline and will be able to operate the services agreed between the two countries. The company has said that it will operate the flights as per the air service agreement between India and the US. International commercial air passenger services have been closed in the country since 22 March due to the coronavirus epidemic.

Ajay Singh, chairman and managing director of SpiceJet, said that with the status of Indian scheduled airline operating flights between India and the US, the company would be able to better prepare its international expansion plans. He said, "I always believe that in every adverse situation there is an opportunity and in the current crisis, SpiceJet has played an important role while recovering."
