SpiceJet has added two wide-body planes, a B767 and a A330 model, to its cargo fleet to transport items on long haul routes to destinations such as Europe and the US. With the latest induction, SpiceJet will have a dedicated fleet of 19 cargo aircraft, including five wide-body jets.
Wide-body aircraft have larger cargo capacity and bigger fuel tank, which makes long-haul operations possible, than narrow-body planes. The addition of two new planes will aid in the global mission of speedy and reliable COVID-19 vaccine transportation and primarily cater to the increasing demand on long-haul routes, it said.
SpiceJet is India’s favourite airline that has made flying affordable for more Indians than ever before.
