In a tweet, the airline said, "Tired of cab bookings always cancelling on you? We have a solution for that. Have your cab ready upon arrival with Mid-Air Cab bookings with #SpiceJet!”</p>
<p>
This service will be initially available for passengers at the Delhi airport. However, the airline will expand this service in a phased manner to other big cities including Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Goa and Ahmedabad.</p>

"The use of latest technology has helped ensure that SpiceJet's system (revamped website) is fast, scalable and secure," SpiceJet said in a statement.</p>
<p>
According to MoneyControl, daily domestic air passenger traffic in India crossed the 300,000-mark on October 9.</p>
<p>
Both business and leisure travel are now starting to pick up.</p>
<p>
“Flights are going full and we have almost reached the pre-Covid levels. The number of flights has also increased, signalling that things are returning to normal,” the executive said.</p>
<p>
As Covid 19 cases continue to drop, air passenger traffic is picking up. A senior executive engaged with a private airline said that the industry, which was one of the worst hit sectors, is gradually opening up and as demand rises, hiring is opening up.</p>
<p>
The government has now decided to remove all restrictions on domestic airlines from October 18.   </p>
