FIIs Bought 23.31 Per Cent: Multibagger Airline Stock In Green As Company Settles USD 23.39 Million Dispute with Aircastle (Ireland) & Wilmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Ltd
The stock gave multibagger returns of 100 per cent from its 52-week low of Rs 34 per share.
SpiceJet Ltd announced that it has successfully settled a USD 23.39 million dispute with Aircastle (Ireland) Designated Activity Company and Wilmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Limited for an aggregate sum of USD 5 million, together with an agreement in relation to the treatment of certain aircraft engines. Both parties have reached this agreement through amicable negotiations, choosing to resolve the matter outside the courtroom. As part of the settlement, all ongoing litigations and disputes between the parties will be withdrawn at the appropriate forums.
This resolution further strengthens SpiceJet’s commitment to restoring financial stability and mitigating legal liabilities. This settlement follows two other significant financial agreements by SpiceJet in recent weeks. On October 9, the airline successfully resolved a USD 131.85 million dispute with lessors Horizon Aviation 1 Ltd., Horizon II Aviation 3 Ltd., and Horizon III Aviation 2 Ltd. (under the management of Babcock & Brown Aircraft Management) for USD 22.5 million. Prior to that, on September 24, the company had settled a dispute with Engine Lease Finance Corporation (ELFC), which initially claimed USD 16.7 million, for an undisclosed lower amount. These three key settlements in rapid succession showcase SpiceJet’s dedication to addressing its financial challenges and securing a stronger, more stable foundation for future growth and operational efficiency.
