Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, according to few media reports, might take over cash-strapped SpiceJet's fleet of the turboprop aircrafts. SpiceJet recently received a 10-day extension to repay Airports Authority of India (AAI) until January 31, 2015. The cash strapped airline is the only operator in India with a fleet of 15 turboprop Q400s. These aircrafts connect smaller towns and have a lower cost of operation.
Jet Airways currently operates a fleet of 113 aircraft, which include 10 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft, 8 Airbus A330-200 aircraft, 4 Airbus A330-300 aircraft, 72 next generations Boeing 737-700/800/900/900 ER aircraft and 15 ATR 72-500 and 3 ATR72-600.
