SpiceJet has been awarded the rights to operate Haj flights in 2025, facilitating travel for 15,500 pilgrims from Kolkata, Guwahati, Srinagar, and Gaya. This marks an 18% increase from the 13,000 pilgrims served in 2024. The airline will operate over 100 special flights, using both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft, to meet the growing demand for this important spiritual journey.

Haj operations have become a significant revenue stream for SpiceJet, contributing an estimated INR 185 crore in 2025. Since launching dedicated Haj flights in 2019, the airline has consistently delivered reliable services. In 2024, two Airbus A340 wide-body aircraft, each seating 324 passengers, were deployed, ensuring a seamless travel experience for pilgrims.

For the upcoming Haj season, SpiceJet plans to elevate its offerings by enhancing passenger comfort and operational efficiency. With meticulous planning and upgraded services, the airline reaffirms its commitment to facilitating this sacred journey for thousands of pilgrims.

Debojo Maharshi, Chief Business Officer of SpiceJet, expressed pride in the airline’s role in supporting such a meaningful occasion. He stated, “Haj operations are a testament to our dedication to meeting passenger needs and delivering a memorable travel experience for pilgrims.”
