Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of SpiceJet, said, “These new inductions will more than double our operational fleet and triple our ASKM by December 2025. The fleet expansion reflects the strong travel demand we are seeing and our readiness to meet it with confidence.”
The airline also plans to increase flight frequencies, launch new routes, and add destinations across its network. Earlier, SpiceJet had announced winter services to Port Blair and Udaipur, underscoring its focus on domestic travel growth during peak season.
Market analysts said the fleet expansion is likely to support revenue growth as passenger traffic rises this holiday season. The airline’s aggressive capacity additions are expected to strengthen its domestic network and enhance international operations where demand is rebounding.
