SpiceJet has stopped taking booking beyond 30 days. When contacted an airline spokesman merely said we are complying with the order of the DGCA.
The move comes a day after the DGCA threatened to take action against the airline. The airline fleet has been truncated and it has cancelled over 80 flights.
>SpiceJet COO Sanjiv Kapoor recently told BusinessLine in an interview that about one-third of the company's revenues come from bookings beyond 30 days. He had said: "If you have a sale or promotion it is much higher. If you cut that booking period out beyond 30 days immediately almost one-third of the revenue goes away. At a time when we are trying to turnaround and generate revenues, pay off liabilities and meet payments it makes it harder. That is why we are saying it will be counterproductive."
