SpiceJet Resumes Normal Operations

New Delhi: The operations of the budget carrier SpiceJet, which were hit severely last week due to the non-payment of dues to the oil companies and regulatory issues, returned to normal today with the airline operating 124 flights till this afternoon.

"Today's operations: SpiceJet as of 3.15 PM operated 124 flights with an on-time performance of 90 per cent," airline's chief operating officer Sanjiv Kapoor said in a tweet.

SpiceJet will operate another 106 flights for the rest of the day, Mr Kapoor said.
