India's major budget airline SpiceJet is facing a severe financial and operational crisis, forcing the company to cancel 15 to 20 flights daily, according to a report by Sandesh (Business).
The airline plans approximately 65 flights on a daily basis, but in addition to flight cancellations, issues of rescheduling and delays are also arising. Passengers are facing significant inconvenience due to these operational challenges. Currently, the company has only 12 aircraft in operation. 3 aircraft have been grounded due to non-payment.
The company has outstanding payments to aircraft leasing companies, airport operators, fuel companies, and ground handling agencies. This financial situation is also affecting employees and, according to reports, their salaries are being paid late until June 2026.
SpiceJet is India's low-cost airline headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana. As of May 2025, it was the fourth largest airline in India in terms of domestic passenger numbers with a 4% market share.
