SpiceJet inducts 5 new aircrafts, aims to more than double its operational fleet by November end

Budget airline SpiceJet bolstered its fleet ahead of the winter travel season by adding five additional aircraft on damp lease. With this move, the total fleet additions now amount to ten. As per a statement released by the airline, the five new aircrafts have commenced commercial operations.

By the end of November, SpiceJet aims to more than double its operational fleet and triple its available seat kilometres (ASKM).

"These inductions mark another significant step in our fleet and network expansion strategy. The response to our new flights has been extremely encouraging, and we remain committed to further strengthening our operations across both domestic and international markets," Debojo Maharshi, Chief Business Officer, SpiceJet, said. "This ongoing expansion will more than double our operational fleet and triple our available seat kilometres (ASKM) by the end of November, ensuring seamless travel experiences across India and beyond."


In the end of October, SpiceJet announced the addition of another Boeing 737 and the return of a Boeing 737 MAX to service, taking the total number of aircraft inducted in October to five.

The additions are part of SpiceJet’s aggressive winter expansion plan, which will see 20 new aircraft join its fleet between October and November.

“This marks another strong step in SpiceJet’s growth story,” Maharshi said earlier.
