Delhi HC summons SpiceJet CEO, COO after failure to pay lessors
The bench "specifically denied" the request of the counsel for judgment debtor, SpiceJet, for the appearance of the two senior officers before the court through video conferencing.
In two separate incidents, flights operated by SpiceJet and another private airline were forced to make emergency landings after encountering technical issues mid-air on Monday.
A SpiceJet flight (SEJ-2950) traveling from Delhi to Shillong was diverted to Patna when its cockpit windshield cracked due to a bird strike. The aircraft safely landed at Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport at 8:52 am, carrying 80 passengers and crew.
