The airline has airlifted more than 6,850 oxygen concentrators from the US, Hong Kong, Singapore and China so far in the last two weeks.

"The oxygen concentrators arriving today have been ordered by SpiceHealth and other organisations," the airline said in a statement.

"SpiceHealth, a healthcare company launched by the promoters of SpiceJet, has been working actively with state governments and hospitals across the country to address the issue of acute shortage of oxygen," it said.

The airline used its B737 freighter aircraft to airlift the concentrators from Hong Kong.
