Struggling Indian low-cost airline SpiceJet Boeing 737-800 seized in Dubai after forced diversion
During an uneventful flight between Ahmedabad, India, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 30 November, the SpiceJet Boeing 737-800 (registered VT-SLM) suddenly had to divert to nearby Dubai World Central. Industry sources close to the airline told Thehindu.com that an undisclosed engine lessor obtained a court order to get the aircraft grounded to remove and reclaim the engines. A SpiceJet spokesperson said that the aircraft diverted after an ex-parte order but believed that the Boeing 737 will be flown back to India very soon. Multiple lessors, including Aircastle, Celestial Aviation, Wilmington Trust, and Willis Lease Finance Corporation, have sought insolvency resolution against SpiceJet for unpaid dues. In July 2022, SpiceJet was put under increased scrutiny of Indian aviation authorities (DGCA) after several incidents.

Helicopter with five senior military officials from Guyana goes missing near border with Venezuela
“Two crew members aboard the helicopter were taking five senior officers on an inspection of troops guarding a border area that Venezuela claims as its own,” according to Army Chief Brig. Venezuelan troops with heavy equipment and machinery have been amassing on the border in recent weeks, leading to speculation of an imminent invasion. “We do not have any information suggesting that there was any flight by Venezuelan aircraft in that area,” he said. The aircraft’s disappearance about 48 km (30 miles) east of the Venezuelan border comes amid heightened tensions between Guyana and Venezuela over the Essequibo region, which is rich with minerals and located near massive oil deposits. Meanwhile, Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali told The Associated Press on Wednesday morning that he was taking all necessary steps to defend his country from Venezuela.

How The Hindu consoled itself and shielded Rahul Gandhi after electoral drubbing in 3 states: Blaming regional leaders, voters, Hindutva and more
By now, we are all used to the Congress party leaders crediting the Gandhi family for victories and blaming the regional leaders for their defeats. Just to shield the Gandhi family. The Congress party lost in Rajasthan (RJ), Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Chhattisgarh (CG) in the just concluded elections to these states. Are we to seriously believe there are people in Congress who are capable of ignoring the Gandhi family and making decisions? How they try to find solace in the performance of the Congress party is also very touching.

Online money gaming, gambling: Kerala Government proposes Ordinance for amending State GST Act
The Kerala Government will promulgate an Ordinance to amend the Kerala State Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act to bring in more clarity to the taxation provisions related to online money gaming and gambling. In September, the Union Finance Ministry had issued notifications for implementing 28% uniform GST on online money gaming, casinos and horse racing. The Union Government decision was based on a decision taken by the 50th GST Council to impose the 28% GST on full face value on online gaming, casinos and horse racing. This development necessitated the State Governments also to follow suit with corresponding amendments to the State GST laws. According to the Kerala Government, it also intends, through the amendment, to include provisions in the State GST Act to remove any absence of clarity regarding taxation provisions related to these online activities.
