GURUGRAM, February 2, 2024: SpiceJet is proud to announce that it has secured flight rights for Haj operations from seven Indian cities. The cities include Srinagar, Gaya, Guwahati, Bhopal, Indore, Aurangabad, and Vijayawada.

Haj has been a significant revenue generator for SpiceJet, reaffirming its commitment to serving diverse segments of passengers. In the current fiscal year, SpiceJet garnered a revenue of INR 337 crore from Haj operations, operating flights from five Indian cities. This year, the airline anticipates even higher revenue from its Haj operations.
