The SpiceJet Chief Operating Officer, Sanjiv Kapoor, has tweeted that flights scheduled to depart on or after 4 p.m. will operate. Not clear if the company paid any money to oil marketing firms or not.
In the morning, the oil marketing companies were refusing to refuel SpiceJet aircraft till their dues were cleared.
SpiceJet operates 31 daily flights from Chennai and none of the 18 flights, which should have departed by about 12.30 pm, had operated.
