^^ The beginning of the end IMO. First sell a boat load of cheap seats, then change everyone's flights due to the cancellations/ rescheduling, then the pressure from the lessors kicks in, so return a bunch of aircraft leading to more cancellations and loss of frequency, the word spreads and business customers/ higher value fliers stop flying your airline, leading to the need for further sales and the cycle repeats ad-nauseum.


And also report higher LF due to cancellations.

Yes, what looked like a turnaround initially, is certainly not happening.

3 more B739s will be withdrawn soon

SZI is currently operation SG226 DEL-IXJ according to FR24. You mean it will be withdrawn after all the flights today? Or FR24 may be wrong?

That makes it 8, in 2 months :
737-900ER : VT-SPT, VT-SGC, VT-SGB
737-800: VT-SGO, VT-SGL, VT-SZC, VT-SZD, VT-SZI


That is a rather drastic reduction. Almost a quarter of their widebody fleet.

But at least, they won't be sitting around gathering dust and getting their pictures all over the internet, with everyone laughing about yet another one of Indian aviation's flop shows.

I thought it was implied. Surely a 737-800 is a "widebody", in a manner of speaking, compared to the only other aircraft SG operates.

OK, if the accepted definition of a 'widebody' is a twin aisle aircraft, then I stand corrected.

^ No worries, it's not any worse than folks on here referring to the A319 (rather than the A318) as the Babybus; with the reasoning that the A319 is the smallest Airbus operating in India.

Any update on the bird that hit a buffalo at STV? Has it been flown out of STV or still on ground pending a visit from MX.

Family taken off plane for slapping cabin crew

Quote:
NEW DELHI: The next time your international flight is delayed by several hours, don't vent your anger on the crew. Else, you and your family may end up crossing the border home in a bus, instead of an Airbus!

A Delhi family realized this the hard way last Saturday when they were to fly home from Kathmandu by SpiceJet's SG 46. The flight was reportedly delayed by five hours and finally harried passengers — including P K Maheshwari (67), his 62-year-old wife and a nine-year-old child of their family — boarded the aircraft after a very long wait.

That's when Maheshwari and the crew got into a scuffle, which finally saw the pilot ordering the family to be offloaded from the airline's Boeing 737 late on Saturday night in Kathmandu. Each side claims that the other was at fault.

According to Maheshwari's complaint, he sat in row 13 aisle seat and being tired fell asleep. "Suddenly I was jolted awake... The stewardess had hit my foot with considerable force, though the aisle of the aircraft was clear... (She) started shouting at me that my foot was in the aisle."

Maheshwari, a resident of Delhi's Greater Kailash-I, claims he tried to tell the airhostess that he had fallen asleep because of this may have happened. "(She) would not listen to me which led to... sharp exchange of words about the harassment due to delay." He claims that his wife also apologised on his behalf.

A SpiceJet spokesman said: "The passenger who was disturbed got up and physically slapped the cabin crew. There is zero tolerance of this kind of physical abuse of crew anywhere in the world, including in India and therefore the captain made the decision he did (offloading the family), which is fully within his authority, is backed by relevant regulations, and is fully supported by management. Other passengers were witness to the slapping episode."

Maheshwari, who denies slapping the airhostess, says in his complaint that the airline asked them to get off the aircraft or else they would call the police.

The family's real troubles began after being offloaded. Maheshwari's complaint says the family did not have any local currency and took a cab to the Sri Aurobindo Yoga Mandir in Kathmandu where the 'guruji' paid the taxi fare.

"We tried to find another flight within a day or two but there was no ticket available for less than Rs 26,000 each (Indian currrency). It was simply not possible for us to afford that," he says.

Finally, the family took a bus to Delhi and reached here on Tuesday after a 'gruelling' 30-hour-journey. Maheshwari, a traveler for last 36 years, now wants an "answer, apology and compensation" from the airline for the trauma caused to his family.

Unfortunate incident. And in incidences like these, both sides blame each other so you may never know what exactly happened.

Sad to see such incidences increasing. Unfortunately, the airlines do manage the regulatory authorities and the blame ultimately falls on the passenger.

However, one should not fly Spicejet in current times due to the delays !

SpiceJet posts fifth straight quarterly loss

Nov 14 2014

SpiceJet reported its fifth straight quarterly loss in the three months ended 30 September despite a fall in fuel prices.

The airline company reported a Rs.310.4 crore loss in the September quarter, compared with a Rs.559.49 crore loss in the year-earlier period.

The airline said its revenue was up 15% and expenses were down 2%, without disclosing rupee figures.


SpiceJet has reduced its fleet size from 57 last year to about 46 this year.

This details the Chakeri airport Nilgai strike on an Air India Regional/Alliance Air AT4 which had come in to land. One has to applaud Captain Paula Valcorba and Captain Urmila Yadav for their skill in ensuring the safety of the passengers in this sudden out-of-nowhere incident. The amazing First officer then (Captain Urmila Yadav) was in the thick of things again at Guwahati, when she made an expert landing in spite of losing a nosewheel. She was the PIC then, with First Officer Yashoo Pereira.

Perhaps; it might be the 10th mentioned above. If I know for sure, you will read about it here.

SpiceJet auditors note 'significant' doubts about going concern statement
News
17-Nov-2014 10:54 AM
SpiceJet auditors S R Batliboi & Associates LLP noted (14-Nov-2014) ‘significant’ doubts on the company’s future as the LCC incurred a loss of INR3.1 billion (USD50.2 million) in quarter ended 30-Sep-2014. The auditor said: "Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 7 of the Statement which indicates that the Company has incurred a net loss of Rs. 31,044.6 lakhs during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, and as of that date, the Company's total liabilities exceed its total assets by Rs 145,973.0 lakhs. These conditions, along with other matters...indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may case significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern". This loss in the Sep-2014 quarter marks the carrier's fifth consecutive quarter of net losses, although the losses were down on a year-on-year basis.

Is it safe to say that SG is starting to down its shutters now?

Any guarantee that they will still be operating flights after the new year?

The airline’s chief operating officer (COO) Sanjiv Kapoor said in an email interview that SpiceJet is in talks with investors for funding:

Q. The fleet size is already down from 57 to 47 in last few months and some additional Boeing aircraft have gone back this month. Will the fleet be reduced by another 17 Boeing aircraft?

A. Crazy thought, absolutely not!

BBAM has major exposure to SG and all 4 of the 900s and one of the 800s on the "returned" list given in a previous post are theirs. SGF is another 800 of BBAM.

The airline is going through temporary restructuring. The airline has a fleet of 28 Boeing.
"We hope to have a fleet of 35 Boeing aircraft by December end and a fleet of 45-50 Boeing 737 by second half of calendar 2015," he said. "There is no comparison with Kingfisher."

If they go under, it could benefit Air Asia India as the are currently hampered due to heavy discounting from Spicejet and matching from Indigo, AI and Jet. They need some external infusion of funds, but no foreign airline is willing to invest in Spicejet.

I believe one Dash - 8 in South is now on the ground. Not just BLR MAA, the night time MAA COK MAA flight is also cancelled for tomorrow and day after. Also DEL HYD COK B738 is cancelled as well (and was not operating for the last few days)

SpiceJet cancels 40 daily flights

Nov 19, 2014

SpiceJet has cancelled over 40 daily flights as its fleet of Boeing 737s is down to 28 (two of which are grounded, including the buffalo-hit one in Surat) from the summer high of 35.

This is exactly how the downfall of KFA began, cancellations on a random basis.
@The_Goat, as for the Kaalnirnay, I think I'd really better start looking at it, with so much encouragement from all around Laughing Laughing

Typical aviation article. Actually around 60 flights cancelled daily till the end of this month. Info on fleet size is also wrong. Fleet of B737 is down to 25 out of which 3 are grounded.

Looks like all of the tickets sold at dirt cheap prices for early-2015 aren't going to be honoured...
