SpiceJet has taken the delivery of a brand new Boeing 737-800 airplane. This takes SpiceJet's fleet size to 20 airplanes with an average age of 3 years. With five more new airplane deliveries scheduled in the next year, the airline is set to grow its fleet size to 25.
This new 737-800 airplane with advanced cockpit technology and blended winglets improves safety and efficiency of the aircraft.
SpiceJet has recently announced its new schedule with strengthening of its connectivity to the NorthEast. Agartala was announced as the 19th destination in their network with the addition of a daily flight on the Kolkata-Agartala-Kolkata route effective 15 April 2010.
Sanjay Aggarwal, Chief Executive Officer, SpiceJet said, “We are excited to welcome the 20th airplane to our fleet. Having a young and state-of-the-art fleet allows us to offer reliable and comfortable service to our customers.”
In keeping with SpiceJet’s practice of naming each of its airplanes after a spice, the new aircraft is christened ‘Vanilla’. It will carry the tail sign VT-SGF.
