So Indigo has some really well planned metro network and SpiceJet is no match for the schedules, routes that Indigo has. Also on top of it Indigo has actually started to focus more on the International routes where the pricing scenario is much better and has deployed majority of the capacity there. SpiceJet surprisingly has not confronted Indigo on some of the strong monopoly routes - Eg: Indigo is the sole carrier between TRV-BLR flying 4 times a day but SpiceJet never challenges Indigo there (Air India has I guess twice/thrice weekly)

on Aug 1, 2019There is huge difference between services and rides of spicejet and indigo. The rides of indigo are generally punctual and staff on board are cooperative whereas rides of spicejet are generally delayed and the staff on board is rude. You can check spicejet flight departure from Bangkok to Delhi. Its departure time from Bangkok is 0320 in the morning but you will not find even a single day when it took off at right time.

on Aug 2, 2019Wonder how our pal Ajay Sungh managed to usher in so many planes in such a short span of time when others even start ups are struggling to induct planes. Has anybody asked this question. Second, how did the Munistry of Civil Aviation allow Ajay Singh to induct the Jet Air planes from lessors within India when foreign registered airplanes are supposed to get out of India to negotiate any fresh lease within India. There is something fishy about this chap Singh and only the opposition can prove this. Both Indigo and Spice Jet needs to be probed on where the funds come from. Will Modi Govt. Open their eyes or is this balanced by someone in the party? Arm twisting was rampant with the Lessors and the Ministry official especially the Secretary and Lady Joint Secretary must be probed.
