Court Asks DGCA not to De-register SpiceJet Planes till April 6

New Delhi: In a reprieve to SpiceJet, the Delhi High Court today asked aviation regulator DGCA not to de-register its six leased planes till April six, saying the no-frill carrier was likely to settle the dispute with two Irish aircraft leasing firms.

A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw said till the next date of hearing, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will take no action as SpiceJet is likely to "settle the dispute".

If SpiceJet settles the issue, "it's well and good. Otherwise, we will hear the matter and dispose it off," the bench said.

The airline had moved the High Court seeking orders to DGCA not to de-register its six aircraft leased from two lessors.

Senior advocate Sandeep Sethi, appearing for SpiceJet which has moved the High Court seeking orders to DGCA not to de-register these Boeing 737 planes, said the airline has settled its dispute with Wilmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Ltd and a settlement with AWAS Ireland Ltd was on the cards.
