SpiceJet launches scheme for SME travellers, offers 10 per cent discount

In a bid to attract small and medium enterprise (SME) business travellers, budget carrier SpiceJet has launched a scheme which offers up to 10 per cent discount to them.

The scheme is part of new self-booking innovative tool that allows qualifying firms to manage their cost, schedule and overall travel requirements.

"SME traveller is aimed to target nearly 70-100 million MSMEs in the country who contribute to 8 per cent of the country's GDP. Hence we definitely see a business need to reach out to this section," said SpiceJet chief commercial officer Kaneswaran Avili.

Another unique feature of the tool is 'Spice Points' which enables the SME travellers to obtain further discounts on their future travel.

"This product enables individual business travellers of the registered SMEs to manage their travel needs on their own, while providing complete visibility and transparency to the SME business and travel managers," the company said in a statment.
