SpiceJet adds three damp-leased Airbus A320s for domestic capacity expansion
SpiceJet has inducted three Airbus A320 aircraft under damp-lease arrangements, with commercial services due to begin later this week. The additions are intended to strengthen domestic connectivity ahead of the travel season, with more aircraft inductions planned in coming months.
SpiceJet inducted three damp-leased Airbus A320s in India to add domestic-route capacity, improve connectivity and launch services ahead of the busy travel season. The announcement lifted shares 10%, though the airline remains under financial and operational pressure.
