The scheduled cargo service on the new routes will be operated twice a week with a Boeing 737-700/800 freighter, SpiceJet said in a press release.

In addition to Singapore, SpiceXpress also operates scheduled cargo flights to Hong Kong and Bangladesh, it said.

"This development would strengthen air trades between the two countries by providing faster and seamless logistics solutions. In addition, this strategic move would help SpiceXpress build its network in Southeast Asia. Singapore is also well-positioned as a springboard for SpiceXpress into other markets such as Europe and Australia," said SpiceJet Chairman and Managing Director Ajay Singh.

With a network spanning 63 domestic and 50 international destinations and a fleet of 19 cargo planes, SpiceXpress is capable of flying over 600 tonnes of cargo daily to domestic and international destinations, the airline said.
