SpiceJet Ltd is poised to receive a Q400 aircraft secured from Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) as part of a settlement agreement inked last year.

In addition to the EDC settlement, SpiceJet finalized three other noteworthy agreements, including those with aircraft leasing firms, Cross Ocean Partners and AerCap. These settlements collectively yielded savings of INR 685 Crore for the airline. Moreover, SpiceJet acquired three Boeing aircraft as part of these agreements.
