Based on the statistics released by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (January- September 2009), it is clear that SpiceJet flew more passengers per departure than any other domestic airline.

Sanjay Aggarwal, Chief Executive Officer, SpiceJet Ltd. said, “The data validates our belief that more customers choose SpiceJet. Our safe, reliable and on-time service, thoughtful connections, highly trained, efficient and warm staff continues to ensure that each of our 6 million passengers are looked after well.”

“Our customers continue to be the core of everything we do. Based on their feedback, we have introduced new services like sale of hot beverage and hot kathi rolls on board. Our customers have also recognized our services by voting us among the Top Ten Budget Airlines in Asia and by making us the most customer-friendly airline operating out of Terminal ID in New Delhi. We are thankful for their constant support and encouragement”.

In the quarterly results announced recently, SpiceJet reported great operational results versus the same quarter last year. We carried twice the number of passengers. We also experienced a 19 point improvement in load factor and generated 31% more revenue.

Despite the global economic downturn, SpiceJet has shown growth in the recent months.  During the first seven months of the current year, SpiceJet’s passenger traffic grew 14% compared to a 5% decline in the overall Indian domestic traffic.
