Cash-strapped airline SpiceJet Tuesday said that it will cancel 300 more flights till Jan 31, even as the government seemed to rule out any help by saying the budget carrier will have to itself resolve its financial troubles and the AAI asked it to pay Rs.200 crore dues by Wednesday.
The latest update on the airline's website states that over 300 flights have been cancelled till Jan 31, 2015. Earlier the troubled airline had truncated its operations by canceling over 1,800 flights till Dec 31, 2014.
Commenting on the airline's troubles, Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said that the budget carrier will have to resolve its financial problems on its own and that the government can only be a facilitator in the revival process.
"Government is here to be helpful but the SpiceJet problem is its finances which it will have to sort out," the minister told reporters on the sidelines of State Aviation Ministers' meet held here to discuss the draft Civil Aviation Policy.
