SpiceJet adds three damp-leased A320s to expand domestic capacity
SpiceJet has inducted three Airbus A320s under damp leases, with commercial operations expected to begin this week. The airline is also pursuing additional leases ahead of the busy travel season, while four long-grounded Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft face deregistration requests from lessors.
SpiceJet inducted three damp-leased Airbus A320s to add domestic capacity, improve connectivity and launch services. It is negotiating further leases, while lessors seek deregistration of four long-grounded Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, which SpiceJet says will remove rental costs.
Why this matters
The move extends SpiceJet’s recent fleet-rebuild pattern: it previously signaled three leased A320s for domestic capacity, while its shares rose 10% ahead of planned Airbus additions.
