SpiceJet Ahmedabad-Dubai Flight Cancelled Over Unpaid Dues at Dubai Airport

Ahmedabad: Spicejet flight from Ahmedabad to Dubai was cancelled today morning, ruining Diwali vacation plans of dozens of passengers from Gujarat, and also the travel plans of many who were returning after Diwali break in India to their job places in Dubai. Many passengers from other states including Bihar and Rajasthan were also stranded at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport as Spicejet flight was cancelled.

A day ago, the SpiceJet flight to Dubai had departed late triggering protest among passengers, videos of which are viral on social media platforms.

While Spicejet is in deep financial trouble, and dozens of reels of protesting passengers are viral across social media platforms in last few months, the Dubai episode particularly is due to unpaid dues of 1.4 million dirhams since mid-October, following which a ground-handling company DNATA at Dubai airport has reportedly suspended Check-in service for SpiceJet.
