Gurugram, (Haryana) [India], March 13, 2025: SpiceJet has set the tone for Holi festivities with a burst of joy, music, and tradition at Delhi Airport! Passengers on select flights were greeted with a dazzling surprise – a specially choreographed dance performance to the iconic Holi anthem ‘Balam Pichkari’, performed by the airline’s spirited crew inside a stationary aircraft.
