According to the airline, the aircraft is expected to arrive in India later this month and begin operations in the first week of October, subject to regulatory approvals. Initially, the A340 will operate on a wet lease model before transitioning to a damp lease, which the company said would provide greater operational flexibility and cost savings. SpiceJet is one of India's largest low-cost carriers, operating a fleet of Boeing 737s and Q-400s, and is IATA-IOSA certified. The airline is a key player in regional connectivity under the UDAN scheme, offering multiple daily flights across the country. (ANI)
