SpiceJet, India’s leading budget airline, has secured the rights to operate Haj flights in 2025 from four major Indian cities—Kolkata, Guwahati, Srinagar, and Gaya. This marks a significant step for the airline as it continues to build on its successful Haj operations. SpiceJet expects to carry 15,500 pilgrims, an 18% increase compared to the 13,000 pilgrims it transported in 2024.

The airline will operate over 100 special Haj flights using a mix of narrow-body and wide-body aircraft, including its previously used Airbus A340 aircraft with a seating capacity of 324 passengers. SpiceJet anticipates generating ₹185 crore in revenue from its Haj operations in 2025, making this segment a critical revenue driver.

SpiceJet has been operating special annual Haj flights since 2019, and this year’s expansion reflects both increased demand and the airline’s growing reputation for providing reliable and efficient travel services for religious pilgrimages. The airline has been proactive in enhancing its services to provide pilgrims with the best possible travel experience, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout their journey.

Debojo Maharshi, Chief Business Officer at SpiceJet, expressed the airline's pride in contributing to this spiritual journey for thousands of pilgrims. “Haj operations are not just a significant revenue generator for SpiceJet but also a matter of immense pride. We are honoured to contribute to such an important and spiritual journey for thousands of pilgrims,” Maharshi said, emphasizing the airline’s commitment to delivering a seamless, comfortable, and memorable travel experience.
