SpiceJet will be adding ten Boeing 737 aircraft, including five B737 Max, on lease to its fleet to cater to increasing passenger demand by October.
In the meantime, the airline will try and restore its grounded aircraft which will start returning back to service soon, SpiceJet said in a statement.
''We will be inducting 10 B737 aircraft between September-October. The induction of these planes, which coincides with the peak travel season in India, will help us launch new routes and strengthen our presence on existing ones,'' said Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, SpiceJet.
''There has been a significant surge in passenger demand and we are hopeful that this trend will continue in the latter part of the year as well,'' added Singh.
