  1. Welcome Aboard

    Welcome Aboard

    Welcome aboard SpiceJet! Twenty-one years ago, on May 23, 2005, our very first flight took off from Delhi to Ahmedabad with a simple but bold idea, to make flying accessible, affordable and reliable for every Indian. As we celebrate our 21st anniversary this month, that idea has grown into something far larger than we could have imagined. Today, SpiceJet stands as India’s oldest operating private airline, and that is a milestone we carry with quiet pride every single day.
