The carrier has joined hands with cab aggregator ‘mytaxiindia’ (MTI) for this service.

The move is aimed at attracting more customers from Tier II and III cities, according to SpiceJet.

“The partnership with ‘mytaxiindia’ will encourage us to explore more routes where the demand could be higher,” SpiceJet vice-president (Business Development) Amit Srivastava said.

“SpiceJet expects the initiative to also help in raking in more revenues with more number of travellers also complement the government’s overall efforts to boost regional air connectivity,” he said.

MIT’s CEO and co-founder Anshuman Mihir said the tie-up would strengthen their network in Tier II and III cities.
