SpiceJet Completes 18 Glorious Years

Issue: 2 / 2023

SpiceJet completed 18 glorious years of serving its passengers, making flying more and more affordable for the common man and connecting the unconnected parts of the country.

Since operating its first commercial flight on May 23, 2005 from Delhi to Ahmedabad, SpiceJet has carried millions of passengers to their destinations. The airline has been part of evacuation and repatriation efforts whenever the need arose. SpiceJet has flown with the highest occupancy or passenger load factor for a record eight successive years. The airline is a key supporter of the regional connectivity scheme, UDAN and plans to bring 25 of its grounded planes back into service. The airline is targeting the return of four of its grounded aircraft, two Boeing 737s and two Q400s, by June 15. More planes will be back in operations in the following weeks.
