Ajay Singh, chairman, and managing director, Spicejet said: “Spicejet has carried record supplies of relief material, medicines, and medical equipment all through the pandemic contributing to India’s war against Covid-19.

In the last week of April, we set ourselves a target of airlifting 10,000 oxygen concentrators and Team SpiceJet has surpassed all expectations by transporting more than five times that quantity. Nothing can be more important than saving lives and helping fellow citizens during these challenging times and I am proud of the efforts put in by my team.
