NEW DELHI: Passengers flying on the day of Holi were not deprived of festivities, as airlines ensured that flights remain special for them. While SpiceJet celebrated with music show at the Delhi airport, IndiGo celebrated it by putting colours with passengers. Vistara , an airline venture Tatas and Singapore Airlines, celebrated it by offering special Holi meal on flights.“There was a splash of red, green and yellow at Delhi’s T-1D as travellers tapped their feet to Bhangra beats and swayed to tub-thumping tunes from top artists DJ Bally Sagoo and Punjabi Singer Jazz Dhami,” SpiceJet said in a release.SpiceJet’s crew and employees danced to Bollywood number of ‘Balam Pichkari’.“SpiceJet’s employees along with the dance group Urban Singh put up a terrific dance show that had the audience floored as they joined the celebrations with equal zeal,” said the release.Interestingly, the dance item on a particular Bollywood song on the day of Holi was started by SpiceJet, when Sanjiv Kapoor - who has now moved to Vistara as chief commercial and strategy officer- was head of SpiceJet.It created a little controversy then, as the crew danced to the number, when the flight was cruising leading to the safety regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) raising concerns over it.Mahindra & Mahindra Chairman Anand Mahindra applauded SpiceJet’s initiative on Twitter and said: “Bravo SpiceJet. You brought colour into your passengers’ lives. A little masti, a little dhamaka..if we all follow that example, life will perpetually be colourful—everyday will be Holi,” he said on Twitter.
