New Delhi: State-owned Airports Authority of India (AAI) is scheduled to meet senior executives of SpiceJet next week to discuss payment of dues mounting up to Rs 235 crore.
The meeting comes in the wake of the budget carrier seeking a deferment of three years in clearing outstanding dues to AAI. A senior official in AAI said, “SpiceJet has asked for a three-year moratorium on payment of dues besides a complete waiver on the interest payables. It is not likely that we will give them such an extension for clearing outstanding dues because the airline is now far more financially stable than the last year.”
AAI’s per-day billing to SpiceJet towards landing, parking and other support services currently stands at around Rs 75 lakh. The airline is making additional payment of Rs 25 lakh per day to clear pending dues.
