印度香料航空欠费逾1400万迪拉姆：迪拜地勤暂停值机，4个航班取消、飞机空机返回印度
印度廉价航空公司香料航空（SpiceJet）11月12日在迪拜国际机场的多数出发航班被暂停值机：地勤公司 dnata 因该公司欠费暂停服务，当天4个飞往印度的航班被取消。据多家印度媒体报道，香料航空欠款超过1400万阿联酋迪拉姆（约380万美元），自10月13日以来未再付款。
被取消的航班原定飞往阿姆利则、斋浦尔、孟买和德里，飞机随后以不载客的调机航班形式飞返印度；当天只有两班较早的航班获准值机起飞，分别飞往艾哈迈达巴德和德里。有报道说，迪拜民航局要求香料航空为滞留旅客安排替代行程和住宿，并就该公司未及时通知旅客取消一事约谈了其当地站长。香料航空回应说，正与有关当局协商解决付款争议，并称公司有充足的银行保函覆盖。
这次中断是香料航空财务困境的最新一幕。据报道，该公司目前可运营的飞机只有约12架，其中3架因欠付租赁方款项被停场；公司对租赁方、燃油公司、机场运营方和地勤机构均有欠款，日常运营大体靠预付现金维持，员工自今年6月以来未领到工资。其在印度国内市场的份额今年9月已降至0.6%。

SpiceJet Owes Over 14 Million Dirhams: Dubai Ground Handler Halts Check-In, Four Flights Cancelled and Aircraft Ferried Back to India
Check-in for most SpiceJet departures at Dubai International Airport was suspended on November 12 after ground handler dnata halted services over unpaid dues, and four of the Indian low-cost carrier's flights to India were cancelled that day. According to multiple Indian media reports, SpiceJet owed more than 14 million UAE dirhams (about US$3.8 million) and had made no payment since October 13.
The cancelled flights had been bound for Amritsar, Jaipur, Mumbai and Delhi, and the aircraft later returned to India as non-commercial ferry flights. Only two earlier flights were allowed to check in and depart that day, for Ahmedabad and Delhi. Reports said the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority asked SpiceJet to arrange alternative travel and accommodation for stranded passengers and summoned its local station manager over the airline's failure to notify passengers of the cancellations in good time. SpiceJet said it was working with the relevant authorities to resolve the payment dispute and that it had adequate bank guarantee cover in place.
The disruption is the latest episode in SpiceJet's financial distress. Reports say the airline now has only about 12 operational aircraft, three of them grounded over non-payment to lessors; that it owes money to lessors, oil marketing companies, airport operators and ground handlers and operates largely on a cash-and-carry basis; and that employees have not been paid since June. Its share of India's domestic market fell to 0.6% in September.
