Ajay Singh-led SpiceJet’s plans to hive off its logistics and cargo business into a separate entity called SpiceXpress faces legal hurdles with lenders and aircraft lessors challenging the move.

One of SpiceJet’s lessor-Goshawk, along with its trustees, has moved the Delhi High Court asking for an injunction on the airline’s plan to transfer any of its assets to a separate company until the airline clears its pending dues of around $16.2 million as lease rentals on three aircraft.
