Under tough competition, SpiceJet had taken the lead in the ongoing fare war this lean season. The low cost carriers had fought to step up sales through discount in two rounds earlier amounting to 50% cut. SpiceJet does a business of about 40,000 tickets a day. The new scheme is intended to go beyond the current low period, and is planned to checkmate any deep foray by the new AirAsia India, entering the battle in the coming months.
