Rapid Fleet Ramp-Up Underway

The new aircraft joined operations this month, initiating a major fleet ramp-up. A total of 20 planes are scheduled to join SpiceJet’s operational fleet between October and November, operating under a damp lease model. Additionally, four previously grounded aircraft will be brought back into service by mid-December, further enhancing the airline’s capacity.

The addition of these aircraft is central to SpiceJet’s strategy to significantly expand operations this winter. By December 2025, the airline is on track to more than double its operational fleet and triple its available seat kilometers (ASKM). This expansion will enable the launch of new routes, increased flight frequencies, and added destinations across its network.

Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, SpiceJet, commented, “This is just the beginning of a large-scale expansion that will redefine SpiceJet’s operations this winter. With every new induction, we are strengthening our operational capabilities, opening new routes, and ensuring greater convenience and connectivity for our passengers across India and beyond. These new inductions will more than double our operational fleet and triple our ASKM by December 2025. Our fleet expansion reflects the robust travel demand we are witnessing and our readiness to meet it with confidence.”
