Not true, majority prefer early morning arrivals. the people who do not prefer this slot of arrival are pretty few.

It currently looks like a standalone flight based from COK.

All the othes ones, from BOM/PNQ/BLR/MAA/HYD are not matching to a turnaround for this flight,
which either means there is another destination lines up from COK which the same a/c will do or it will hop on to TRV/BLR and do another flight which is not yet open in the system

Trying to figure out what is happening

SpiceJet is launching Riyadh shortly

Flights from DEL to begin with

ameya · Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2012 4:44 pm Post subject:

By monday, Guongzhou would also be announced.. keep watching

ameya · Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2012 4:55 pm Post subject:

Expecting the flight to RUH to be a late evening flight to operate as

DEL KTM/KBL DEL KTM DEL RUH DEL

Another a/c is doing DEL DXB BOM DXB DEL

the guangzhou will be a standalone 1 a/c rotation

Yet to figure out how the COK-DXB is being done

There are no standalone departures ex COK as of now in the system

Interesting routes:

DEL-CAN is the longest at 2271miles - and SG would go against CZ which flies their 757 on this route.

Is DEL getting all these services due to the new airport and capacity created?

Edit: Added DEL-DXB

I wouldnt say so, its more to do with the traffic.

CAN would have traffic from DEL and CCU may be, but CCU doesnt have that big a presence of SG to fil up that flight, so DEL becomes a natural choice.

Its a mix of bilaterals, traffic, SG presence and then the infrastructure availability

If you have to fly somewhere, you just do irrespective of the condition of airport and the current MAA is an example of that.

Also Q400 changes expected in south, since MAA CMB Is pulled out from Qs

Well, SG has time and again increasing its AMD presence and lately are into Blue oceans strategy. How much it helps them, only time will tell.

But for the connecting traffic, SG will not be a good bet

SG has restarted BOM-TRV. Not sure why it was stopped for some time.

SG also doesnt shy away from established routes internationally. It has joined EK,IX and 6E in starting COK-DXB.

Putting the safety of around 160 passengers at risk, two SpiceJet pilots allegedly got into a verbal fight over who should land first, sources in Mumbai said. The incident had occurred on Wednesday at around 7 pm when the Indore ATC cleared the Delhi-Indore flight of SpiceJet for landing. Around the same time, the airline's flight SG 1053 Hyderabad-Indore was also on the approach but was to land after the Delhi flight.

"However, the pilot of the flight from Delhi contacted the ATC, saying the Hyderabad flight pilot was arguing with him over landing. In the process, the two aircraft came at a distance of 3,100 feet though they were in the required vertical separation limit," sources added.

There were around 160 passengers onboard at the time. SpiceJet spokesperson was not available for comment.

SG has traditionally been strong in AMD and been holding on to it, despite the fact that its a low yeilding market

Riyadh flights are finally open

DEL dep 0345
RUH arr 0600

RUH dep 0700
DEL arr 1320

Unexpected timings !

ameya · Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2012 4:57 pm Post subject:

Considering this, it means a new aircraft altogeather is required for this destination

And thus having a lot of space on it from 1430 onwards till about midnight, when it can be swapped.

So are we seeing another flight somewhere from SG ?

Can do a DEL-CMB if they have to, station is already operational, and rights will not be an issue

ameya · Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2012 6:55 pm Post subject:

SG has reduced frequency on DEL-DED from 2x Daily to Daily

ameya · Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2012 6:58 pm Post subject:

DEl-ATQ-DEL x 2
DEL-IXC-DEL x 2
DEL-DED-DEL x 1
DEL-UDR-DEL x 1
DEL-IDR-DEL x 1
DEL-JLR-BOM-JLR-DEL x 1

So its just 3 Q400s which are DEL based now ! For all that "we are opening a new base in DEL and will connect this and that " !
