With this, SpiceJet will no longer remain on 'cash and carry' at AAI run airports across the country and will revert to advance payment mechanism for daily flight operations.
"SpiceJet's ability to clear the pending dues reflects the airline's improved cash flow in the recent times," the airliner said in a statement.
Further, AAI will release SpiceJet's Rs 50 crore bank guarantee following the airline clearing all its principal dues. This will result in additional liquidity for the airline.
