MGH Flies SpiceJet Charters Ensuring India’s Supply Chain Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic
GURGAON, India, May 3, 2020 PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

SpiceJet’s fleet of five dedicated freighters are crisscrossing the global 
skies carrying vital supplies including medicines, medical devices, cold-chain 
medical supplies, farm produce for various governments, medical and pharma 
companies, retailers and farmer bodies in this global war against COVID-19 
pandemic.    

SpiceJet has transported around 4000 tons of cargo on over 430 flights since 
the nation-wide lockdown began in India month back- more than 70% of all air 
cargo carried by Indian airlines.

SpiceJet, India’s second-largest airline, has ferried crucial medical supplies 
to and from Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Ho 
Chi Minh City, Colombo, Kabul, Dubai amongst other places. SpiceJet’s cargo 
operations have been significantly boosted by the airline’s passenger aircraft 
fleet where both its B737 and Q400 aircraft have been operating cargo-on-seat 
flights.

MGH Group, the Global Cargo GSA of SpiceJet, has been actively involved and has 
supported SpiceJet’s freighter flights from Singapore to Chennai and Bengaluru 
carrying crucial medical supplies while extending full support to the airline’s 
regular cargo operations to Hanoi and Bangkok.

“Ajay Singh’s bold and farsighted move to set-up an independent cargo arm for 
SpiceJet has paid rich dividends by not only ensuring that the key supply chain 
remains intact but also providing healthy cash flows for the Company when 
passenger operations have been completely grounded. He’s a true visionary. No 
other Indian carrier runs a dedicated freighter fleet and it was indeed bold 
bet to make in 2018,” said Anis Ahmed, Founder & CEO of MGH Group.

SpiceJet along with the MGH Group has been planning to further expand its 
freighter operations and add multiple global routes to its fast-expanding 
network considering increasing demand for essentials and medical supplies 
globally.

SpiceXpress, SpiceJet’s dedicated cargo arm, launched in September 2018, 
operates on both domestic and international routes and is powered by SpiceJet’s 
fully integrated transportation network including air-cargo, 
ground-transportation and warehousing facilities across the country.

SpiceJet has helped transport essential supplies including face masks, 
sanitizers, essential surgical supplies, IR Thermometers (required to detect 
COVID-19), Hazmat suits, Coronavirus Rapid Test Kits within and outside India. 
The airline has even operated special flights to carry quarantined passengers 
to government facilities providing its planes, crew and staff for national duty.
