SpiceJet has faced significant disruptions at Dubai airport due to unpaid dues, leading to flights operating without passengers and cancellations. These issues are part of a broader pattern of financial instability for the airline, which has been dealing with court cases from lessors, delayed salaries to employees, and operational challenges. Despite multiple fundraises, SpiceJet's troubles have persisted, including unpaid overflying charges to Pakistan and non-deposited provident funds. The Indian Ministry of Civil Aviation is closely monitoring the situation. Recently, SpiceJet reached a settlement with Mumbai airport over a minor financial matter and pledged to clear outstanding dues with French companies by the end of September 2024.
