SpiceJet has expanded its operational capacity with the addition of another Boeing 737 aircraft and the return of a Boeing 737 MAX to active service. These two aircraft join three others inducted earlier this month, bringing the total number of new additions to five in October.
Both aircraft have commenced commercial operations, further supporting the airline’s ongoing winter expansion drive. Earlier this month, SpiceJet added two Boeing 737s and one wide-body Airbus A340 aircraft, underscoring its focus on strengthening domestic and international connectivity ahead of the festive and holiday season.
This latest development is part of a broader plan that will see SpiceJet induct a total of 20 aircraft between October and November 2025. The initiative is aimed at enhancing the airline’s capacity and operational reliability during one of the busiest travel periods of the year.
Commenting on the milestone, Debojo Maharshi, Chief Business Officer, SpiceJet, said, “Our latest inductions and the return of another 737 MAX to active service mark another strong step in SpiceJet’s growth story. This is one of our largest-ever expansion phases, driven by a clear focus on meeting the surge in travel demand and offering our passengers more destinations, enhanced connectivity, and greater convenience. By December 2025, our expanded fleet will help us more than double capacity and triple our ASKM, marking a major milestone in our growth journey.”
With this round of aircraft additions, SpiceJet aims to consolidate its position as one of India’s leading budget carriers by significantly boosting seat capacity and route frequency. The airline’s ongoing fleet renewal and expansion programme reflect its efforts to optimise utilisation, improve operational efficiency, and capture a greater share of the growing passenger demand across domestic and regional markets.
