Dubai Airports Suspend SpiceJet Check-In Services Over Unpaid Dues, Four Flights Cancelled
Dubai Airports suspended SpiceJet's check-in services at Dubai International Airport on November 12 due to unpaid dues of approximately AED 14 million (around Rs 35.8 crore). This led to the cancellation of four flights to Indian cities, while two flights were allowed to operate before the suspension. The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority summoned SpiceJet's station manager following the suspension. SpiceJet is reportedly facing financial difficulties, including unpaid dues to various service providers and a reduced operational fleet, and is working to resolve the payment issue.
