SpiceJet has introduced 10 new aircraft in the first quarter, including three previously grounded units. The company is also working to unground additional aircraft.
The airline’s net worth has reached INR 70 crore for the first time in 10 years. This milestone highlights SpiceJet’s financial and operations recovery efforts. The airline made significant strides with debt resolution. It settled disputes involving aircraft and engine lessors totaling INR 1 700 cr at INR 1.233 cr, resulting in a financial gain of INR 467 crore.
