Spicejet is in talks with two airports in south India and one in Gujarat to set up its second regional base after Hyderabad.

Currently flying two international routes—Colombo and Kathmandu—SpiceJet has applied for 10 more, including South-East Asia, West Asia and some destinations in the Commonwealth of Independent States.

“We will not be just a point-to-point carrier. We will create partnerships with other international low-fare carriers. They will sell our products and we will sell their products,” Spicejet’s chief executive Neil Mills said.

SpiceJet’s flights will feed into other international carriers and vice versa. Mills did not divulge details of international carriers the airline is negotiating with. As a majority of the low-fare carriers use Navitaire software for their reservation systems, it will be easy for SpiceJet to work with others, Mills said.
