"We are excited to offer our first signature promotion for 2015 to incentivise customers to try our enhanced schedule and reward early planners with great discounted fares. Such Super Sale offers are meant to sell in advance at attractive prices, seats that would otherwise be expected to go empty, thereby improving revenues," said Kaneswaran Avili, Chief Commercial Officer, SpiceJet .

"Such offers have made a trip by air even more affordable than train or bus travel for those willing to book early to grab these offers," he added.

"As we continue on our re-structuring path, the return of our Super Sale in 2015 at the onset of low season is a continued vote of confidence in the fact that such sales and promotions, if done right, are a win-win-win for customers, airlines, and the travel ecosystem at large," said Spice Jet chief operating officer Sanjiv Kapoor.
