SpiceJet has confirmed that it will place an additional five 737 aircraft within its fleet by October 2025.
The airline said that this expansion is a step forward in enhancing operational efficiency, network, and overall customer experience.
The Economic Times reported that these aircraft will be inducted under a damp lease arrangement, where flight operations are jointly handled by the lessor and the airline.
The carrier stated in April that it was on track to double its current fleet over the next 12 months. SpiceJet also stated that it had added ten planes to its fleet since October 2024 -- three grounded aircraft that were brought back into service and seven inducted on lease.
In January SpiceJet began re-inducting its fleet of grounded aircraft, with plans to restore ten aircraft to its operational fleet by mid-April, including four 737 MAX planes.
Speaking to Airline Economics in October 2024, SpiceJet Singh stated that the airline placed an order for 200 MAX aircraft with Boeing in 2017.
