‘Misinformation’: Cochin airport rejects SpiceJet’s ‘bad weather in Kochi' claim
The authorities said there was no adverse weather in Kochi that could disrupt the flights at the airport.
Cochin International Airport (CIAL) has dismissed SpiceJet's claim that bad weather in Kochi was causing disruptions to its flights from the airport. The airport issued a clarification on X, stating that there was no adverse weather at Kochi and that SpiceJet's social media post attributing the disruption to bad weather was "misinformation".
CIAL noted that no other airline had reported similar cancellations during the same period. The airport authority emphasized that while they were assisting affected passengers, SpiceJet had not satisfactorily addressed the concerns or rectified the issues. With a July cancellation rate of 8.58%, SpiceJet is also facing an NCLT matter over insolvency proceedings, though seven other lessor petitions remain against the airline, keeping the threat of insolvency alive.
