SpiceJet, a longstanding player in India's aviation sector, is poised to scale back its operations even as the industry anticipates record-breaking passenger traffic. The airline has sanctioned 1,657 weekly flights for the summer schedule of 2024, a 26% drop from the 2,240 flights slated for the current winter schedule. This mirrors last year's pattern when SpiceJet requested 30% fewer flights than the summer schedule of 2022.
