New Delhi: Cash- strapped SpiceJet spilled more trouble onto its passengers on Wednesday by remaining grounded for more than 10 hours for want of money to pay the oil companies for fuel.
The airline operated approximately 75 flights after 4 pm, out of its schedule of about 230 flights each day.
Not a single SpiceJet flight in its entire network took off since early Wednesday morning till about 4 pm, after the oil companies refused fuel supplies to the carrier for non-payment of their dues.
The civil aviation ministry had on Tuesday asked the oil companies and airport operators to extend a 15-day credit facility to SpiceJet in an attempt to save the airline from shutting down, also at the same time asking the airline to commit capital infusion at the earliest.
