Spicejet argues against maintainability of petition filed by lessors

Budget carrier SpiceJet on Monday challenged the maintainability of one of the two petitions filed in the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) by aircraft leasing company Aircastle (Ireland) Limited and another one filed by Wilmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Ltd, The Economic Times (ET) reported. Aircastle (Ireland) on Monday told the NCLT that it is entitled to file multiple petitions against SpiceJet for breach of multiple contracts.

Separate petitions were filed by the aircraft lessor since these were different aircraft and different invoices, the counsel appearing for Aircastle (Ireland) in one of the later petitions filed by the company said.
