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.

SpiceJet is among the first private companies that stepped into the Indian aviation sector.
