Private equity firm Carlyle Group's aviation investment and servicing unit will write off $40.2 million of Indian budget carrier SpiceJet's lease arrears and convert $30 million of the arrears into equity. This move comes after SpiceJet's recent announcement that it would convert dues to Carlyle Aviation into equity and debentures, as it struggles to fully restore operations and compete with rivals IndiGo and Air India. Carlyle Aviation's stake in SpiceJet will significantly increase as a result of the conversion.
