He said senior government officials including transport department secretary H Kharmalki and MTC MD KL Nongbri were present.
SpiceJet is the third airline to start scheduled flights from Shillong after Indigo and Alliance Air.
SpiceJet had entered into an MoU with the Meghalaya government in January to connect the Meghalaya capital with the national capital.
