Mills said that the airline was in talks with both Airbus and Boeing and is evaluating fuel-efficient variants of narrow-bodied planes from both companies.
Mills said, "We are looking at the fleet for the long term. We are evaluating both the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus 320neo."
He refused to give details of the order size but said it wouldn't be a big order. Currently, SpiceJet has 36 Boeing 737s and 12 Bombardier aircraft.
By 2016, Mills expects the airline to have 50 Boeing-737s and 30 Bomardiers.
