This settlement reflects our commitment to resolving matters in the best interest of the company and its stakeholders. With this and other significant settlements, SpiceJet continues to strengthen its financial position and lay the foundation for a more resilient future.

According to the airline’s press release, all ongoing litigation between the parties will be withdrawn across relevant forums. The resolution aligns with SpiceJet's broader efforts to restore financial stability and mitigate legal risks.

This settlement follows two other major financial resolutions for the airline. On October 9, SpiceJet reached an agreement with Horizon Aviation entities managed by Babcock & Brown Aircraft Management, settling a $131.85 million dispute for $22.5 million. Earlier, on September 24, it finalised a settlement with Engine Lease Finance Corporation (ELFC) over a $16.7 million claim, though the final amount was not disclosed.

“These three consecutive settlements highlight SpiceJet’s determination to address financial challenges and build a stable platform for future growth and operational efficiency,” the release concluded.
