SpiceJet Adds Three Damp-Leased Airbus A320 Aircraft to Expand Fleet
SpiceJet has inducted three Airbus A320 aircraft under damp lease agreements, with commercial operations starting later this week. This move aims to expand the airline's capacity, improve connectivity on key domestic routes, and support new services. The aircraft, averaging around 15 years old and leased from Cambodia's Sky Angkor Air, add operational flexibility and cost efficiencies. SpiceJet is also in advanced talks to lease additional aircraft as part of its fleet expansion plan, following a recent decline in market share and the exit of its wet-leased fleet.
