SpiceJet on Monday said it has resolved a legal dispute over aircraft rentals with one of its lessors, which will now allow the airline to retain three Boeing 737-800 aircraft in its fleet. The airline said that the issue with the Wilmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Ltd, which had along with other leasing firms moved the Delhi High Court seeking de-registration of its three leased aircraft, has been resolved amicably. “SpiceJet Ltd has today (March 23) entered into a settlement agreement with its lessor Wilmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Ltd with regard to aircraft operated by the company,” the airline said. Earlier on March 19, the Delhi High Court had directed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to de-register six Boeing 737 aircraft operated by SpiceJet. Under the settlement, the lessor has agreed to withdraw the court proceedings and de-registration process of aircraft subject to the airline satisfying the terms . , SpiceJet said.
