Belagavi: It was a momentous occasion for the personnel at the Sambra Airport in Belagavi, and for the passengers and crew of the 189-seater Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft, which landed in the border district. The joy that they experienced was occasioned by the fact that the aircraft that landed at Sambra Airport on Thursday was an advanced machine. The SpiceJet flight flew into Belagavi from New Delhi.
SpiceJet has been operating flights between Belagavi and Delhi since August 2021; while the airline operated three flights to Delhi a week initially, four flights are being operated since December in the wake of increased demand.
Sambra Airport director Rajesh Kumar Maurya on Thursday welcomed the crew of the SpicJjet aircraft with garlands. Maurya pointed out that it was the first time that the aircraft had been operated by the airline. Expressing gratitude to SpiceJet management for their trust in the staff at the Sambra Airport, Maurya said, “The aircraft had been inducted into the airline earlier, but it was not being operated owing to technical issues.”
Maurya told TOI, “The Max 8 is an advanced Boeing aircraft. While it can seat 189 passengers, 77 arrived on the flight on Thursday, while 76 boarded the flight to Delhi.”
