Exclusive : SpiceJet to begin evacuation operation in Ukraine amid stand-off with Russia as Government reaches out to airlines

SpiceJet flights are going to start from February 28, 2022, and other airlines will join the evacuation process soon, said Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director at SpiceJet said.

The government contacted all airline companies, and no fare has been fixed at the moment. 

The primary goal is to securely bring back everyone, and no fee will be charged for passengers. 

The SpiceJet Cargo division's separation will be finalized in a few weeks. SEBI processes for listing have yet to be fulfilled. Drones are now being tested for delivery of small pockets as part of a trial. It will be a critical part of the cargo.

There is a plan to fly large jets on biofuel, as well. A discussion is also going on with the government to increase the amount of ethanol in ATF.
