SpiceJet will commence New Delhi-Guangzhou flights on
February 8, and the LCC is looking at serving more destinations in Greater
China including Chengdu, Macau and Hong Kong. The five-hour New Delhi-Guangzhou
service will be the longest flown by SpiceJet, which also plies routes to
Riyadh and Dubai.
Ajay Vinayak, CEO, Palomino Hospitality, said: “There is
room for several daily flights between key Indian cities and China. Demand is
not only from growing tourist interest but a fast-growing business and MICE
travel market between the two countries that requires serious attention.”
Anil Punjabi, chairman-east, Travel Agents Federation of
India, added: “(China Eastern Airlines’) Kunming-Kolkata flight carries an
almost-full load daily, with passengers transiting from Kunming to other
Chinese cities.”
Said Neil Mills, CEO, SpiceJet, said: “The relationship
between India and China is strengthening, but connectivity between the two
countries is poor.”
Currently, Air China flies to New Delhi from Beijing four
times weekly, while China Eastern operates weekly flights between Shanghai and
New Delhi, and daily flights between Kunming and Kolkata.
