SpiceJet Swings to Rs 238 Crore Q1 Loss on Airspace Curbs, Supply-Chain Delays

Talks for damp leases signal a push to stabilise operations.

Overview

  • Total income fell to Rs 1,190.56 crore from Rs 2,067.21 crore a year earlier, reversing a year-ago profit of Rs 150 crore.
  • The airline attributed the setback to airspace restrictions tied to regional tensions and weaker leisure travel demand.
  • Delays in returning grounded aircraft to service due to global supply-chain issues and engine overhauls increased costs.
  • Reported net worth improved to Rs 446 crore from a deficit of Rs 2,398 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.
  • July domestic market share was 2 percent, reflecting limited capacity as the carrier pursues cost reductions and network adjustments.
