New Delhi, Sep 1 (TIWN) A day after a former SpiceJet pilot wrote to the Prime Minister's Office claiming financial stress of airline staff and eventual flight safety hazard, the airline has refuted the allegations, terming them as baseless and unfounded.

"We refer to the email communication being circulated by one Captain Vinod Loganathan alleging flight safety hazard at SpiceJet and giving an unfounded colour of being an unsafe airline due to financial stress caused to certain unnamed employees. The allegations are completely false, baseless and we deny them all strongly," the company said in a statement.  Noting that the ex-employee had resigned from the company at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 before withdrawing his resignation, the airline said that Captain Loganathan was later off-rostered for indiscipline.
