According to a Moneycontrol report about the possible settlement, the NCLT has adjourned the SpiceJet case to November 7, owing to the talks but sources close to the development say that the parties have reached a settlement.

Celestial Aviation is the fifth lessor to move an insolvency plea against SpiceJet. Other lessors like Willis Lease Finance, Aircastle and Wilmington have their pleas pending with the NCLT.
