Booking under three-day offer ‘Travel Light’ commences today for a travel period between July 1 and October 15.

The July-September and January-March periods are considered a low travel demand period in the country.

’SpiceJet Effect’ on demand stimulation has led to record airline passenger growth in the country year-on-year, driving the highest growth rate in the world as per IATA data, the airline said.

Travelling light also helps lower fuel consumption and emissions and it is smarter and more environmental-friendly way to travel, Mr. Kapoor added.
