SpiceJet set to add 5 Boeing 737 aircraft to its fleet by October

SpiceJet on Friday said that the airline has finalised a lease agreement to induct five Boeing 737 aircraft, which are expected to join its fleet by October 2025.

The aircraft will be inducted under a damp lease arrangement, where flight operations are jointly handled by the lessor and the airline.

The induction is timed ahead of the winter travel season and is aimed at meeting higher passenger demand through the early summer of 2026.


The airlines' shares were trading at Rs 38.27, down 2.4% on the BSE as of Friday 2.05 PM.

The low-cost carrier also said that it is in active talks with other lessors for additional aircraft to further increase capacity.

"This addition will significantly strengthen our fleet and enable us to deliver a superior flying experience to our passengers. We are actively exploring further fleet additions as we prepare for a robust winter schedule,” said Debojo Maharshi, Chief Business Officer, SpiceJet.

The planned expansion is part of the airline’s broader strategy to scale up operations both in domestic and international markets, SpiceJet said.
