The airline will carry 15,500 pilgrims in 2025, a significant increase from the previous year, and expects revenue of Rs.185 crore from its Haj operations
GURUGRAM, December 2, 2024: SpiceJet has secured the rights to operate Haj flights in 2025 from four key Indian cities—Kolkata, Guwahati, Srinagar, and Gaya. The airline will carry close to 15,500 pilgrims next year, a significant increase of 18% compared to the 13,000 pilgrims it took in 2024.
SpiceJet will operate over 100 special Haj flights next year, using a mix of narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. Haj has been a significant revenue generator for SpiceJet, and the airline expects to generate ₹185 crore from these operations in 2025. SpiceJet has been successfully operating special annual Haj flights since 2019.
During the previous Haj season, SpiceJet deployed two wide-body Airbus A340 aircraft, each with a seating capacity of 324 passengers, to ensure a seamless travel experience for pilgrims. In 2025, the airline is committed to enhancing its services further, making all necessary arrangements to guarantee a comfortable and smooth journey for the pilgrims.
Debojo Maharshi, Chief Business Officer, SpiceJet, said, “Haj operations are not just a significant revenue generator for SpiceJet but also a matter of immense pride. We are honoured to contribute to such an important and spiritual journey for thousands of pilgrims and are fully committed to delivering a seamless, comfortable, and memorable travel experience. SpiceJet has always prioritised the needs of our passengers, and our dedicated Haj operations are a testament to that commitment.”
