This adds to five Q400s SpiceJet already owns, previously leased from NAC. A sixth Q400 is arriving imminently to join SpiceJet's fleet in time for the peak summer travel season, allowing the airline to offer more connections and improved service.

The largest settlement, with Export Development Canada (EDC), granted SpiceJet ownership of thirteen Q400s and saved Rs 567 crore, while agreements with Cross Ocean Partners and AerCap provided additional savings of Rs 685 crore and included three Boeing aircraft for SpiceJet.
