Flight operations of cash-strapped SpiceJet were grounded today due to non-supply of jet fuel by oil marketing companies. "Not even a single flight has taken off till this morning due to fuel supply issue with the oil companies," sources told PTI.

The state-run oil marketing firms have not yet taken a decision on the resumption of jet fuel supply to SpiceJet on a two-weeks credit facility, they said.
