SpiceJet posts Rs 234 crore Q1 loss as India–Pakistan tensions and grounded fleet dent demand

SpiceJet reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 234 crore (about USD 26.6m) for the June quarter, citing India–Pakistan hostilities, airspace restrictions and a partly grounded fleet — worsened by supply‑chain problems and weak leisure demand after a recent aviation accident. The carrier plans to induct 10 Boeing 737s and is exploring widebody leases to restore capacity.
