India’s air cargo operator SpiceJet has added Sudan and South Korea to its international cargo network. The airline operated its maiden freighter flights to both these destinations carrying pharma and cargo supplies.

SpiceJet deployed its Boeing 737 freighter aircraft to carry 16 tonnes of cargo supplies to Khartoum in Sudan via Ras Al-Khaimah and another 16 tonnes of cargo from Delhi to Incheon in South Korea via Kolkata.

“Our maiden cargo flight to Sudan marks a major milestone for SpiceJet. We will be actively using Ras Al-Khaimah airport as a hub for our cargo operations to Africa and CIS countries in the times to come. With our first cargo flight to Incheon in South Korea we have made a significant addition to our cargo network in East Asia.” Ajay Singh, chairman and managing director, SpiceJet.
