SpiceJet to induct 60 aircraft in 2019-20, says airline’s CFO
As it moves to expand its global presence, SpiceJet plans to aggressively augment capacity by 80% during the current fiscal, a top company official said Tuesday. As per the plan, the airline will induct 60 aircraft, including 30 from the recently grounded Jet Airways, SpiceJet CFO Kiran Koteshwar said. “We have already inducted 22 aircraft from lessors of Jet Airways. We plan to induct another 8t aircraft from the lessors within the next 10-15 days.” Besides aircraft from Jet’s lessors, the airline will add another 30 planes as part of the planned inductions. According to Koteshwar, the airline expects the 13 grounded Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to enter service after the global ban on these planes are lifted. The airline has, however, not yet received any reimbursements or compensation for the grounded Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. <br/>
