“We are excited to induct the 90-seat Q400
aircraft into our fleet,” said Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing
Director, SpiceJet. “The additional seats and performance
improvements will result in substantial reduction in unit costs
and also we will be able to address our market needs in the
regional space.”
“The delivery of the first 90-seat Q400 aircraft
showcases the commitment of Bombardier’s Q Series turboprop
program to respond to customer requirements as they address
traffic growth in regional markets,” said Todd Young, Head of the
Q Series Aircraft Program, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. “I
thank and congratulate the employees and suppliers who have worked
tirelessly to deliver this most recent enhancement to the Q400
aircraft, and I also thank our customer, SpiceJet for its strong
