Government and DGCA Monitor SpiceJet's Financial and Operational Challenges
The government and aviation regulator DGCA are closely monitoring SpiceJet's financial health and operations amid challenges including a shrinking fleet and declining domestic market share, which fell to 1.6% in July from 3.9% in February. The airline has reportedly delayed salary payments to employees since May. To rebuild capacity, SpiceJet plans to induct 20 leased aircraft by mid-November. Its shares recently declined following these developments.
