SpiceJet Secures Rights to Operate Haj Flights from Four Indian Cities in 2025

SpiceJet has secured the rights to operate Haj flights in 2025 from four key Indian cities-Kolkata, Guwahati, Srinagar, and Gaya. The airline will carry close to 15,500 pilgrims next year, a significant increase of 18% compared to the 13,000 pilgrims it took in 2024.

SpiceJet will operate over 100 special Haj flights next year, using a mix of narrow‐body and wide‐body aircraft. Haj has been a significant revenue generator for SpiceJet, and the airline expects to generate ₹185 crore from these operations in 2025. SpiceJet has been successfully operating special annual Haj flights since 2019.

During the previous Haj season, SpiceJet deployed two wide‐body Airbus A340 aircraft, each with a seating capacity of 324 passengers, to ensure a seamless travel experience for pilgrims. In 2025, the airline is committed to enhancing its services further, making all necessary arrangements to guarantee a comfortable and smooth journey for the pilgrims.

Debojo Maharshi, Chief Business Officer, SpiceJet, said, "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 and are fully committed to delivering a seamless, comfortable, and memorable travel experience. SpiceJet has always prioritised the needs of our passengers, and our dedicated Haj operations are a testament to that commitment."
