SpiceJet to take 5 more Q400s
SpiceJet will add 5 more Bombardier Q400s to its fleet by June to back-fill some of the capacity lost in the market due to Jet Airways’ financial difficulties. Three of the turboprops are expected to be delivered within the next 10 days, with the final 2 to arrive by June. The carrier has 27 Q400s in its fleet already, with 22 more on order. SpiceJet announced the additional Q400s less than a week after it said it would lease 16 additional Boeing 737NGs that will help to cover capacity lost from the grounding of its 13 737 Max 8s. While not naming Jet Airways directly, SpiceJet chairman and MD Ajay Singh indicated that the additional capacity will help to fill capacity on regional routes lost by the downsizing of the full-service carrier. <br/>
