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.
