In a statement, SpiceJet said, “SpiceHealth has also tied up with SpiceJet to offer a price of Rs299, which is one-third of the prevailing market price, for its passengers who wish to get the crucial COVID-19 test done and thus contributing to making flying even more safe and convenient.” 

Initially, SpiceHealth's testing facility would be available only in Mumbai and Delhi. To get their tests done, customers can book appointments at www.spicehealth.com and their test done at the nearest SpiceHealth laboratory.
