SpiceJet Share Price: Shares of SpiceJet rose by 3% on November 28, 2024, following the announcement that Aircastle, an Ireland-based aircraft lessor, had withdrawn its insolvency case against the airline before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). The withdrawal comes after a mutually agreed-upon settlement between both parties, marking a positive turn in SpiceJet’s efforts to rebuild its financial standing and restore relationships with key partners.
Key Developments Behind the Rise
Settlement with Aircastle and Wilmington Trust
The settlement follows a previous $23.39 million dispute between SpiceJet, Aircastle, and Wilmington Trust SP Services. SpiceJet reached an agreement to resolve the issue for a significantly lower amount of $5 million, along with arrangements concerning specific aircraft engines. Both parties opted for amicable negotiations to avoid a protracted legal battle.
Other Dispute Resolutions
This resolution is just one of several successful settlements SpiceJet has made in recent months. The airline also reached a favorable agreement with Babcock & Brown Aircraft Management (BBAM) to settle a $22.5 million dispute, down from an original claim of $131.85 million. Additionally, SpiceJet settled a $90.8 million dispute with Export Development Canada for $22.5 million earlier this month, securing the return of 13 Q400 planes.
Market Reaction and Financial Boost
At 10:10 am, SpiceJet’s shares were trading at ₹62.90 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). This uptick represents a 15% gain in the past week. The airline’s financial position has also been strengthened by a successful ₹3,000 crore Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), which has helped fund its recent settlements and bolster its operations. SpiceJet is also set to receive ₹736 crore from a previous funding round, providing further financial support for its ongoing recovery.
Ongoing Positive Trends
The airline’s ongoing efforts to resolve disputes and strengthen its operations have been key to its recent stock performance. As SpiceJet continues to address financial challenges and repair its relationships with aircraft lessors and other partners, investor confidence is likely to remain strong.
