The Q4 result was announced after market hours on Friday, 24 May 2013.

SpiceJet's revenue rose 31% to Rs 1456 crore in Q4 March 2013 over Q4 March 2012.

SpiceJet's average passenger yield rose 8% to Rs 3,739 in Q4 March 2013 over Q4 March 2012.

SpiceJet said that the continued weakness of Indian Rupee, high fuel prices and significant tax burden continued to hurt the entire domestic aviation sector. However, SpiceJet said it was in Q4 March 2013 successfully able to grow passenger traffic by around 20%, outperforming the domestic industry passenger growth. However, the increase in fares was inadequate to fully absorb the impact of higher costs of operation, SpiceJet said in a statement.

SpiceJet reported net loss of Rs 191 crore in the year ended 31 March 2013 (FY 2013), as against net loss of Rs 606 crore in the year ended 31 March 2012 (FY 2012). Revenue rose 43% to Rs 5714.55 crore in FY 2013 over FY 2012.

Mr. Neil Mills, Chief Executive Officer, SpiceJet said, "The past twelve months have continued to be difficult and the Indian aviation industry witnessed increasing cost challenges particularly relating to airport charges as well as the adverse impact of the weakness of the rupee. We continue to be confident of the future, particularly as we have launched numerous international routes and this will improve the mix and performance in the future".

SpiceJet currently operates more than 330 daily flights to 42 Indian cities and 7 international destinations.
