A Dubai-based lessor of SpiceJet Ltd has asked India’s aviation regulator to de-register three of the budget airline’s planes as SpiceJet struggles with high costs and maintenance challenges.
The United Arab Emirates aeronautics firm AWAS did not specify why it was seeking to deregister the three Boeing 737s in Friday’s notification, published by India’s aviation regulator.
SpiceJet was returning older aircraft in a phased manner, including these three aircraft, as a part of modernization plan, as reported by news agency Reuters.
