SpiceJet will likely lose 2 more aircraft to another lessor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SpiceJet <\/a>is at risk of losing 2 additional aircraft. Lessors of the airline’s jets have requested the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to de-register the 2 SpiceJet Boeing 737 aircraft it owns.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less than a month ago, separate lessors made the same appeal for four 737s, which were de-registered. The four aircraft were returned to the lessors. The same fate would likely befall these two planes as well. An Ireland-based leasing company made the most recent request. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)<\/a> has 5 days to answer to the request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ireland-based lessor has requested that the DGCA de-register 2 SpiceJet 737s registered VT-SPU and VT-SGQ. The request was filed on August 25th. The DGCA <\/a>has 5 days to respond to the request. Before it can react, it must check with authorities across the nation to ensure that the aircraft does not have any taxes due. This is to prevent the lessor from accursing responsibility for these unpaid dues. The lessor has not said why it hopes that the aircraft be de-registered. It is believed that it will likely reclaim the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The requests fall under Irrevocable De-registration and Export Request Authorization (IDERA). This legislation is a part of the Cape Town Convention. It ensures that the owner of an aircraft can re-possess told aircraft from a third-party operator if it is de-registered. It was drafted to provide a way for lessors to reacquire aircraft if the airline defaults on the lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of July, another lessor requested the same de-registration of 4 of its 737s operated by SpiceJet. The directorate general of civil aviation (DCGA) complied with this request. Following their de-registration, the aircraft were reclaimed by the lessors. The airline said that this reacquisition is a part of a larger plan to retire the older fuel-inefficient 737s in exchange for new fuel-efficient 737 MAX aircraft. This will provide the airline with larger profit margins as operating costs are reduced. It is anticipated that the DGCA will also approve this recent request as it falls within the boundaries of the aforementioned legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
