This initiative aligns with SpiceJet’s constant efforts and commitment to diversity and inclusion and demonstrates its support for the LGBTQI+ community.

Effective Friday, June 28th, the National LGBTQ+ Pride Day, SpiceJet pilots, cabin crew, and airport staff replaced traditional greetings like “ladies and gentlemen” with more inclusive terms such as “Hello everyone,”

“Good morning/afternoon/evening, all you lovely people,” or “Welcome aboard, everyone!” This change underscores SpiceJet’s dedication to fostering a more comfortable and welcoming environment for all travelers, regardless of gender identity.

Debojo Maharshi, Chief Business Officer, SpiceJet, said, “At SpiceJet, we are dedicated to fostering a more inclusive environment where everyone feels acknowledged, respected, and welcome.”

“Introducing gender-neutral announcements is a step in that direction, recognizing the diverse identities of our passengers”, Debojo Maharshi added.

Recently, on International Cabin Crew Day, SpiceJet took another groundbreaking step towards inclusivity by launching a unique program to equip its cabin crew with sign language skills.

This initiative empowers crew members to effectively communicate with passengers with hearing impaired, ensuring a seamless and comfortable travel experience for all. SpiceJet is India’s favourite airline that has made flying affordable for more Indians than ever before.

SpiceJet is an IATA-IOSA certified airline that operates a fleet of Boeing 737s & Q-400s and is one of the country’s largest regional players operating multiple daily flights under UDAN or the Regional Connectivity Scheme.
