SpiceJet, which is one of the low-cost airlines in the country, has now been allowed to operate normally by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) until further notice. The decision comes after SpiceJet wrote to AAI seeking more time to work out the modalities to pay pending dues.
The airlines had announced a net loss of ₹934.8 crore for the year 2019-2020.
SpiceJet spokesperson said, “The AAI has deferred its decision to put SpiceJet on cash and carry. We continue to have normal operations at all AAI-run airports as before without any impediments.”
The development comes after AAI issued a letter to all regional executive directors and all its other necessary department heads, along with SpiceJet’s chairman and managing director (CMD) informing that the low-cost carrier will have to pay before operating each of their flight in all the airports managed by AAI across the country.
