SpiceJet cancels 4 Dubai flights as ground handler suspends check-in services
The carrier said the suspension followed unpaid dues above 14 million UAE dirhams, and regulators ordered it to help affected passengers.
- On Thursday, November 12, Dubai International Airport suspended SpiceJet's check-in services after the airline failed to clear outstanding dues exceeding 14 million UAE dirhams, or approximately Rs 35.8 crore.
- Ground-Handling company Dnata stopped processing passengers after SpiceJet missed a final payment deadline, prompting cancellation of four flights bound for Amritsar, Jaipur, Mumbai, and Delhi.
- While four flights were grounded, two services, SG-5115 to Ahmedabad and SG-5106 to Delhi, operated as scheduled because they were due to depart before the suspension took effect.
- The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority summoned the airline's station manager for failing to communicate cancellations, while directing the carrier to arrange alternative transport for stranded passengers.
- These operational challenges follow earlier reports of SpiceJet cancelling 15 to 20 daily flights, and Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport issued an advisory on Friday regarding potential disruptions.
