SpiceJet Ordered to Pay $1.5 Million Debt or Face Consequences

India's SpiceJet has been ordered by the country's Supreme Court to pay $1.5 million to Credit Suisse by September 15th in a case related to unpaid dues. The court warned of "drastic action" if the payment is not made. A third of the amount is part of a monthly settlement plan, while the rest are unpaid dues that have accrued since last year. SpiceJet had previously claimed that the debt was old and predated its current management. This is the latest setback for the cash-strapped airline, which is also facing a separate arbitration order to pay $12 million to its former owner.
