SpiceJet announced that in a significant step towards revitalising its fleet and enhancing operational efficiency, SpiceJet has received the first two of its overhauled engines from global MRO provider StandardAero. These include a CFM LEAP-1B engine that powers the Boeing 737 MAX, overhauled at StandardAerofs Houston, USA facility, and one Q400 engine, received from StandardAerofs Singapore facility.
The airline has also successfully ungrounded another Boeing 737 NG aircraft, which returned to active service last month, reinforcing SpiceJetfs commitment to restoring fleet capacity in a structured and phased manner.
As part of its broader fleet revival plan, a total of 17 engines were sent for overhaul. With the receipt of the first two engines, SpiceJet expects a steady flow of additional engines in the coming months.
Six CFM LEAP]1B engines were sent to StandardAerofs Houston facility, while seven Q400 engines had been sent to its Singapore facility. Additionally, four engines have been sent to Carlyle Aviation to support the revival of grounded Boeing 737 NG aircraft. |
