SpiceJet has expanded its fleet with the addition of two Boeing 737 aircraft, strengthening capacity across major domestic and international routes. Both aircraft have cleared all regulatory requirements and are already in commercial operation, having entered service on 26 and 29 November.

The new aircraft have been deployed on high-traffic routes including Delhi–Bangkok, Ahmedabad–Dubai and Ahmedabad–Kolkata. Their induction comes as the airline aims to enhance connectivity, improve schedule reliability and meet rising passenger demand during the peak travel period.
