SpiceJet (SG, Delhi International) is planning to enter the freight sector using an undisclosed number of Dash 8-400s. Airline sources who spoke to India's Financial Express said the LCC was considering using its un-utilized Q400s for night time cargo flights between Delhi International and Bengaluru International.
“The aircraft that will be used for this operation would be those sitting dead at night. They would be utilized to fly ‘cargo on seat’ between Bangalore and Delhi,” Manjiv Singh, Spicejet's head of freight operations, said. “These are on planning stage and should take shape in the next 3-6 months."
Currently, Spicejet operates a fleet of fourteen Q400s.
