All airlines release their Summer schedule on March 29, and as per Spicejet’s Website the schedules have been updated.
According to the schedule Spicejet will fly from Belagavi only upto April 30 and from May 1, 2015 the flights would be operational from Hubballi.
There was grapevine that Spicejet will stick flying from Belagavi as another competitor Air Pegasus is likely to commence operations from Hubballi in late April.
But the schedule says otherwise. The Schedule displayed of Hubballi however is complete upto October 24, 2015 which is the stipulated time for the Summer Schedule to end as per DGCA.
There will some minor change in flight timings for Belagavi –

Yes as per the schedules posted by Spicejet Flights to & fro from Belgaum to Mumbai & Bangaluru is available only until 30-April-15. From 1-May-15 there will be no services on Belgaum sector.
From 1-May-15, flights will start operating to & fro from Hubli to Mumbai & Bangaluru.
This implies that Spicejet is more interested in operating the Hubli sector as against the Belgaum sector, reasons could be many like the load factor etc.
In fact Spicejet can introduce a hopping flight to Belgaum & Hubli. (Mumbai-Belgaum-Hubli and Hubli-Belgaum-Mumbai) similarly on Bangaluru sector (Belgaum-Hubli-Bangaluru and Bangaluru-Hubli-Belgaum).
With this hopping flight both Hubli and Belgaum gets covered.
Anyway Spicejet will decide based on their strategy, if some biggies approach Spicejet there can be possibilites.
