Several SpiceJet flights from Dubai have been cancelled due to unpaid airport fees, according to reports shared by assorted Indian news websites.
On November 13, 2026, the Hindustan Times claimed that four SpiceJet flights from Dubai to Amritsar, Jaipur, Mumbai and Delhi had been cancelled on November 12, 2026, due to the carrier owing AED 14 million ($3.8 million).
According to the publication, Dubai Airports, which manages Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), emailed SpiceJet to advise the airline that it had not received payment since October 13, 2026.
Dubai Airports also advised SpiceJet that check-in services would be suspended due to non-adherence to payment conditions, the report said.
According to Flightradar24 data, a SpiceJet flight scheduled from Dubai International to Delhi on November 13, 2026, at 09:50, local time, was cancelled, as was a flight to Mumbai at 12:20.
Further flights on November 13, 2026, to Amritsar and Jaipur have also been cancelled.
A SpiceJet spokesperson told the Hindustan Times that the airline was working with the relevant authorities to rectify the situation.
“We have adequate bank guarantee cover in place and are working to ensure that the issue is sorted out at the earliest,” the spokesperson said.
SpiceJet financial woes
In September 2026, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) declared that it was monitoring the carrier to ensure its financial problems do not compromise safety. SpiceJet has been struggling with cash shortages, flight disruptions and delayed salary payments.
The airline has not reported its financial results since February 2026. According to Reuters, SpiceJet announced that its overdue results would be published by December 7, 2026.
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has highlighted that it will not allow trading in SpiceJet shares from December 10, 2026, due to the missing financial updates.
