Air India and SpiceJet have outstanding dues of Rs 2,350 crore and Rs 185 crore respectively to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) as on September this year, Minister of State for Civil Aviation V K Singh said on Monday.
“Some airlines have defaulted on clearance of their dues,” Singh said in written response to a question in Rajya Sabha.
The AAI follows up with the airlines regularly for recovery of dues according to its credit policy, he mentioned.
Charging penal interest, encashment of security deposits along with resorting to legal action were other measures available with the AAI to carry out recovery of dues, he noted.
