SpiceJet to connect Assam’s Lakhimpur and Jorhat

SpiceJet will soon enable connectivity to Assam’s northern district of Lakhimpur with Jorhat in the south. This was announced by Ajay Singh, Chief Managing Director, SpiceJet at Advantage Assam-Global Investors Summit’18 in Guwahati. The move will, if it comes through, form part of Centre’s UDAN or Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS), an initiative taken to make air travel to India’s Tier-II and III cities affordable and at the same time putting remote regions on the country’s aviation map. “For India to grow, it is critical that Northeast grows,” Singh said.
