Spillage refers to the wasted food or drinks due to turbulence or other factors during the flight. With smaller jets and fewer seats, there will be less turbulence, and hence spillage is expected to decrease. 
Spoilage, on the other hand, refers to the perishable food items that cannot be used in subsequent flights. With smaller jets and fewer seats, the amount of food stocked would be less, and hence the chances of spoilage would decrease. However, the proportion of food wasted due to spoilage may increase as there would be fewer seats, and hence fewer passengers to consume the food. Thus, spoilage may decrease but spillage may increase.
