Dubai Airport Suspends SpiceJet Check-Ins Over Unpaid Dues, Cancels Four Flights
Dubai International Airport suspended SpiceJet's check-in services on November 12 due to unpaid dues of approximately AED 14 million (Rs 35.8 crore). This led to the cancellation of four flights to India, while two flights departing before the suspension were allowed to operate. Dubai Airports had issued a final warning on November 9 after no payments were received since October 13. The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority summoned SpiceJet's station manager following the suspension, and the airline was directed to arrange alternatives for affected passengers.
