Star Air, operating five Embraer 145 jets and four Embraer 175 jets, will significantly enhance SpiceXpress’s domestic network, incorporating nine new destinations: Belagavi, Bhuj, Kalaburagi, Kishangarh, Kolhapur, Jamnagar, Jodhpur, Nagpur, and Shivamogga. This collaboration underlines SpiceXpress’s commitment to expanding its reach and strengthening the nation’s air cargo infrastructure, aligning with SpiceJet’s mission to cater to the underserved regions in India.
SpiceXpress’s domestic network will increase from 39 to 48 destinations helping the company strengthen its Door-to-Door delivery and postal service. The three-year agreement, extendable by mutual consent, establishes a foundation for seamless cooperation between the two companies.
