SpiceJet has finalized lease agreements to add 20 aircraft—15 Boeing and five Airbus, including higher-capacity A321s—to its fleet between mid-October and mid-November. This expansion aims to increase daily flights to around 200 during the winter and holiday travel season, enhancing both domestic and international networks. The aircraft will be inducted under wet and damp lease arrangements, supporting capacity growth, frequency increases, and efforts to stabilize the market and ease airfare pressures during peak demand periods.
