SpiceJet, a low cost airline, has announced the launch of direct flights to Dubai from Amritsar and Kozhikode. Bookings for tickets are open now and flight services will commence from November 15.

With the launch of these flights, SpiceJet will link Dubai directly from eight Indian cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Kochi, Madurai, Amritsar, and Kozhikode, with connections from dozens of cities, including Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.

To celebrate the launch, the airline will offer tickets at an introductory fare of Rs. 4,999 all-in one way between Kozhikode-Dubai and Amritsar-Dubai, a press release said here on Monday.

While SpiceJet will operate daily flights on the Kozhikode-Dubai route, flights on the Amritsar-Dubai route will operate on all days, except Saturdays. SpiceJet will deploy Boeing 737NG aircraft on the newly launched routes.

Dubai is one of the airline’s six international destinations. The others include Bangkok, Colombo, Kabul, Male (Maldives) and Muscat. Services to Kathmandu, which had been temporarily suspended, will resume in the future, and additional international destinations will be announced in the coming weeks, the release added.
