NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday de-registered two SpiceJet aircraft after the airline failed to clear its dues to Irish lessor Horizon Aviation, the third lessor in one month to put in an Irrevocable Deregistration and Export Request Authorisation (IDERA) to deregister the airline’s B737 aircraft.
“Boeing 737-800 aircraft registered as VT- SPU and Boeing 737-900ER aircraft registered as VT-SGQ of SpiceJet have been deregistered under IDERA on Wednesday,” a DGCA official said.
