SpiceJet in Trouble after Top Pilots Quit

Indian private airliner, SpiceJet faces an unprecedented trouble as some 40-odd pilots including commanders have quit the airline during the past six months.

The airline auditors in their recent report have cast doubts over the ability of the budget carrier to run it as a "going concern".

The airline has reported 5th straight quarter of net losses for the July-September period, at Rs 310 crore, although it is down from the year-ago period when it had a net loss of Rs 559 crore.

The losses came down as the airline witnessed a 15 per cent growth in total revenue. For the past fiscal, the airline had reported a record loss of a little over Rs 1,000 crore.

The pilots who have parted ways with SpiceJet include the commanders and reports said the quitting of these pilots have also impacted the airline's operations significantly with its flights either delayed or at times having repeated cancellations.
