SpiceJet said flights are scheduled to operate from seven Indian cities -- Srinagar, Gaya, Guwahati, Bhopal, Indore, Aurangabad, and Vijayawada.

Last year, SpiceJet's Haj operations generated revenues of Rs 337 crore.

Chandan Sand, Head of Leasing and Legal at SpiceJet, said the lease agreement for the induction of A340 aircraft has been finalised.

The airline is actively pursuing opportunities to expand its fleet through long term lease agreements, he added.
