Dubai airport refuses to check-in SpiceJet passengers over airline dues
The Hindu
SpiceJet faces financial turmoil, leading to flight disruptions, delayed salaries, and legal battles with lessors and authorities.
“SpiceJet’s passengers at Dubai airport on Thursday (August 29, 2024) were barred from checking-in over the airline’s failure to clear airport dues,” said multiple industry sources.
This forced the airline to operate empty flights out of Dubai. It is learnt that the airline’s passengers departing from Dubai have been facing similar issues over the past week.

On August 12, 2024, Mumbai airport also issued an advisory to SpiceJet’s passengers about a likely disruption to their flights. The advisory was later withdrawn.
