The court cases filed by aircraft lessors to recover their dues don’t assist anybody very much and all such disputes eventually end in settlements, SpiceJet CMD Ajay Singh said last week. SpiceJet employees are now being paid their full salaries on time and all issues related to their pays have been resolved, he told PTI in an interview.
Delhi High Court last month restrained SpiceJet from transferring a part of its assets to a separate company after Goshawk, one of the airline’s aircraft lessors, filed a case to recover its pending dues of approximately USD 25 million. On September 3, a section of employees of SpiceJet went on a short strike at the Delhi airport over issues related to reduced salaries and their irregular disbursement. Singh said it is a difficult time for every airline around the world and not just SpiceJet.
