GY Aviation Lease has approached Indian aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for the deregistration of two more SpiceJet Boeing 737-8 aircraft.
Most of the SpiceJet’s fleet is currently grounded due to different reasons.
Many aircraft of the budget carrier are grounded due to various reasons. Recently, the airline's three lessors, Wilmington Trust SP Services, Sabarmati Aviation Leasing and Falgu Aviation Leasing sought the deregistration of one aircraft each, according to a DGCA filing.
The latest development comes after the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on May 8 issued a notice to SpiceJet on a petition filed by Aircastle seeking initiation of insolvency resolution proceedings against it. The tribunal is scheduled to hear the plea on May 17.
According to the NCLT website, two more petitions for insolvency resolution proceedings against SpiceJet are pending before it.
Three days after lessors requested DGCA, to de-register three of the airline`s planes, SpiceJet has suspended flight operations from Ahmedabad-Goa, for a month, sources claim.
