SpiceJet has chosen a single-aircraft-type fleet, which allows for greater efficiency
in maintenance, and supports the low-cost structure. And when it came to selecting
this single aircraft fleet, SpiceJet has opted for the new-generation Boeing 737-800s
with winglets and Boeing 737-900ER. These aircraft allow for safe, comfortable and
efficient flying and are ideally suited for short to medium-haul flights in Indian
conditions.
