Spicejet takes delivery of first 90 seat Q400

Low cost carrier SpiceJet has taken delivery of Bombardier’s first 90-seat Q400 turbo-prop.

The Canadian airframer had announced in February 2016 that it would develop an extra-capacity 90 seat variant of the Q400. Bombardier has accomplished this by redesigning the front right door of the aircraft and moving the aft bulkhead further back. This along with reducing the space between the seats from 30 inches to 28 inches per row allow for the additional 12 seats.

SpiceJet currently operates a fleet of 23 of the 78-seat varriant Q400s. Yesterday’s delivery is the first from a 25 aircraft order that had been placed by the airline with options for 25 more aircraft.

Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, SpiceJet
“We are excited to induct the 90-seat Q400 aircraft into our fleet,The additional seats and performance improvements will result in substantial reduction in unit costs and also we will be able to address our market needs in the regional space.”
