Budget carrier SpiceJet on Monday announced the launch of 14 more domestic flights, including services on four new routes – Pune-Patna, Chennai-Rajahmundry, Hyderabad-Calicut and Bengaluru-Tuticorin.

The new direct flights and additional frequencies will come into effect from July 1, the airline said in a statement.

“Additionally, SpiceJet will also enhance its operations on Delhi-Patna (second frequency), Bengaluru-Rajahmundry (second frequency) and Mumbai-Bengaluru (fifth frequency) sectors with non-stop additional frequencies,” the airline said the a statement.

The airline has been pitching for more flights to non-metros and smaller cities from major airports in the country.
