As of February 2007,they have 11 B737-800 (plus 15 on order)and on order are the new B737-900 ER.

Out of those 11 B737-800,I think 5 of them are leased.

In 2005 they placed a firm order for B737-800( with 10 options).On feb 2006 they announced that they will convert 10 options into firm orders for 5 B737-900 ER and 5 B737-800s.

SG is the hidden star IMO. The little quiet boy who sits queitly in class and emerges from behind to be the winner.

Efficent, on time operations. Low-costs but not low on class: even some film-actors are regularly seen on their flights which testifies to their image.

I have travelled once in SG and i must say that i am quite impressed with their service. Although their flight was not on time both ways, they made it up by their service.

Cheers

I have flown both SpiceJet and Indigo and find them very similar. Good aircraft, on time performance, alloted seats and no-nonsense service. On some SG flights, I have noticed that their leather seats have taken quite a beating and look similar to DN seats!! 6E has regular seats and not leather seats, but the planes are newer compared to SG. I think 6E will give good competition to SG. And 6E appears to have better timings compared to SG, atleast on BLR-HYD sectors. 6E has flights leaving BLR at 7:30am and leaving Hyd at 7:00pm which suits people well. SG has some odd timings.

Both 6E and SG flights on the BLR-HYD sector appear to be doing quite good load wise. The 7:30 BLR-HYD flight has been full both times that I have taken it.

Kingfisher pays 2000 more than spice to senior co-pilots than spicejet but thats hardly any amount comparing their pay!
