[edit] Why the picture is in Mallorca

I was just about to write a question asking whether they did charter flights as the photo of the aircraft in spiceJet colours is taken in Mallorca. However, as you'll notice, there's no titles on the plane in the picture and, having found the original on airliners.net, it says the following: "Getting ready for delivery to new Indian startup SpiceJet from Futura!" [1] Also note that the plane holds an Irish registration as Futura Airlines has Dublin as a base. Hopefully that might save someone else a few minutes trying to uncover the reason for these anomalies! Iancaddy 00:12, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Future Deliveries Correction

I noticed that someone listed that SpiceJet has 14 737-800 and 10 737-900ER on order claiming that the February 2006 order was firm as well as the August order. I believe based on Boeing's press releases and orders/deliveries page that the February order was simply an MOU and that the August 2006 order was a firming of those first 10 options. Therefore, I beleive that the airline currently has only 9 737-800 and 5 737-900ER on firm order with the aformentioned further 10 options. I didn't change those numbers because I cannot yet confirm this until Boeing updates it's August User Defined Reports page next month.

[edit] SG or 0S ?

I was looking at flights between Kolkata and Chennai last summer and I saw one labelled 0S521. However, 0S is not labelled in the IATA airline designator. However, when you search 0S it leads you to the SpiceJet page, where the IATA code is SG which is on the IATA listing (along with Canada's defunct JetsGo). So I'm curious, was SpiceJet formerly 0S and is now SG, or vice-versa, or what?
