SpiceJet Banks not happy

SpiceJet’s lenders have expressed concerns over the airline’s decision to hive off its cargo business into a wholly-owned subsidiary. AT the AGM in December the airline proposed to its shareholders a special resolution to ‘transfer the cargo business as a wholly-owned subsidiary’. It had said it “plans to add more cargo aircraft to scale up SpiceXpress’ existing capacity and transform it into a fullscale freighter cargo service”. The shareholders had voted in favour of this resolution. This action effectively devalues the remaining airline that the banks have been lending to of late.
