SpiceJet has revealed it will start operating flights on the Mumbai-Male’ route from December 24.
The airline in a press release said the flights will be operated under the bilateral air bubble established between India and the Maldives. The airline added it will deploy its Boeing 737 aircraft on this route.
While all scheduled international passenger flights have been suspended in India since March 23 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, special flights have been operating since May and under air bubble arrangements since July. India has formed air bubble arrangements with more than 22 countries, including the Maldives.
Under an air bubble agreement between two nations, airlines of both the countries can operate special flights between their territories with certain restrictions.
