Mumbai: No-frills airline SpiceJet Sunday announced the induction of a Boeing 737, taking its fleet size to 100 aircraft.
SpiceJet is the fourth domestic airline to achieve the feat after national carrier Air India, now defunct Jet Airways and rival IndiGo.
Eight domestic carriers – Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, GoAir, Air India Express, Vistara, AirAsia and Alliance together have 595 planes in their fleet at the moment.
Spicejet in a release said it has added some 23 planes in the last one month alone.
“Who could have thought that from the brink of closure in December 2014, SpiceJet would have a 100-aircraft fleet in 2019,” SpiceJet chairman and managing director Ajay Singh said on the induction of 100th plane in the fleet.
