  "account": "CIAL, the operator of Cochin International Airport, has accused SpiceJet of spreading misinformation regarding disruptions to their flight operations at Kochi. Despite SpiceJet claiming bad weather in Kochi was the cause of the disruptions on Saturday, CIAL stated that the weather conditions were not adverse. The airport operator noted ongoing operational issues with SpiceJet affecting its international services, including flights from Kochi, causing inconvenience and uncertainty for passengers. CIAL emphasized that no other airline operating from Kochi reported similar disruptions due to weather conditions during the same period. The airport has made efforts to assist affected passengers and provide necessary support, but SpiceJet has not adequately addressed the issues, which have worsened over recent days.",
  "summary": "The airport, in a passenger advisory, said it had noted ongoing operational issues with SpiceJet affecting its international services, including those from Kochi, causing considerable inconvenience and uncertainty for passengers.",
