and the economy in the region.
Mr. Ajay Singh – CMD, SpiceJet on the occasion said, “There is
tremendous growth taking place in the economies of small towns of the tier-II and
tier-III cities. The next wave of growth for the Indian aviation industry is going to
come from them as these small town airports will enable the industry to explore the
growth potential of these untapped markets. With the onus of operating the highest
number of flights into smaller destinations in the market today we are now focusing on
elevating these regional cities on to our pan-India network. We are also planning to
boost our departures from Kolkata by 40% with an extensive outlook for domestic and
international network from the city.”
