Aircastle settles insolvency case with SpiceJet for $5.6mn

Both parties informed the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Delhi about the settlement on Wednesday, after which the court approved the withdrawal of the case.

This marks another instance of the airline settling its disputes with creditors after raising ₹3,000 crore through a qualified institutional placement (QIP).

In October, the airline had announced the resolution of a $23.39 million dispute with Aircastle (Ireland) Designated Activity Co. and Wilmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Ltd. The matter was settled for $5 million, along with an agreement regarding the treatment of certain aircraft engines.

A race that many did not volunteer to participate in, but cannot afford to watch from the sidelines. It is ironical that AI, which is expected to ease business complexities, may end up exhausting employees being pushed to Upskill, Upgrade and Retrain.
