SpiceJet flew in with a strong Q4, reporting its highest-ever quarterly profit and a second straight profitable quarter.
By the numbers:
- Q4 standalone net profit: ₹324.87 crore, up 174% YoY from ₹118.9 crore
- Q4 revenue: ₹1,942 crore, up 17.6% QoQ
- FY25 full-year profit: ₹48 crore, its first annual profit in 7 years
- Passenger load factor: 88.1%, reflecting solid demand
The passenger load factor is a key performance indicator in the transportation industry, particularly for airlines, that measures the capacity utilization of a transport provider. It essentially indicates how full the available seats are on a flight.
Alongside earnings, the airline also announced a major aircraft lease restructuring.
SpiceJet credited its strong numbers to a tight operational focus, rising demand, and improved yield environment.
Zoom out: after years of turbulence, SpiceJet seems to be making a steady return to stability boosted by high demand and strategic restructuring. With the full-year profit finally back in sight, investors may be hoping the airline’s turnaround has cleared for takeoff.
