SpiceJet is the first Indian carrier to connect the un-served market of Jharsuguda with Delhi and Hyderabad. The airline will launch daily direct flights on the Jharsuguda-Delhi-Jharsuguda, Jharsuguda-Hyderabad-Jharsuguda and Jharsuguda-Kolkata-Jharsuguda sectors. With the addition of these new flights, SpiceJet will be operating 29 daily flights under the regional connectivity scheme.
