As per the terms of the agreement, SpiceJet said it has acquired full ownership of 13 EDC‐financed Q400 aircraft. "The transfer of ownership of these 13 planes will result in a substantial reduction in operational costs, strengthening the airline's operational capabilities and fleet management. It also brings long‐term financial benefits, relieving SpiceJet from the obligation of monthly rental payments for these aircraft and further reinforcing the airline’s financial stability," it also stated.

Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of SpiceJet said, "We are very pleased to have paid the settlement amount in full and closed this agreement with EDC. This resolution allows us to move forward with a strengthened balance sheet and focus on getting our Q400 aircraft back into service as quickly as possible. We are excited to expand our regional operations and enhance connectivity across key routes, including those under the UDAN scheme, with our revitalised fleet."
