Bhupendrasinh Chudasama, Hon’ble Member of Parliament, Navsari, Sh. C.R.

The inaugural flight took-off from Bhavnagar at 3:45 PM.  

Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, SpiceJet, said, “In line with our commitment to enhance regional connectivity and put the smaller cities on the country’s aviation map, SpiceJet is launching 14 new flights, out of which as many as 12 – Bhavnagar-Delhi, Bhavnagar-Surat, Gwalior-Jaipur, Kishangarh (Ajmer)-Mumbai, Pune-Tirupati and Varanasi-Dehradun are industry first flights. We will also be connecting Bhavnagar with Mumbai. Bhavnagar is the sixth big city in Gujarat where SpiceJet will fly to. Home to the world’s largest ship breaking yard, Bhavnagar has great potential for both business and leisure travellers and the increased air connectivity will help further boost trade and tourism.”

Flights between Jaipur and Gwalior and Kishangarh (Ajmer) and Mumbai will operate four days a week and those between Varanasi and Dehradun will operate on all days.

With the launch of the new flight services, passengers from Bhavnagar can now conveniently travel to a host of other cities both on SpiceJet’s domestic as well as international network via multiple onward connections from Delhi and Mumbai.

The airline will be deploying Q400 aircraft on these routes.
