SpiceJet faces mounting legal crisis as engine lessor pushes enforcement of $8 million UK judgment. The Delhi High Court heard arguments from France-based Sunbird France 02 SAS seeking to recover unpaid lease rentals and maintenance dues for three aircraft engines. SpiceJet's legal team argued the airline operates 135 daily flights carrying 21,000 passengers with 6,400 employees, cautioning that asset disclosure could disrupt operations. However, the lessor countered that despite owing creditors, SpiceJet paid its chairman $3.4 million in advance salary in 2025. The dispute centers on rental payments halted since January 2022, with only minimal payments received since. This enforcement action compounds SpiceJet's existing arbitration disputes and financial pressures as the airline battles multiple creditor claims simultaneously.
