Budget carrier SpiceJet said on Tuesday that it will submit an offer with the resolution professional of Go First after due diligence to “create an airline in collaboration” with the bankrupt carrier.

SpiceJet did not provide any further details on its offer on Tuesday.

Last week, SpiceJet said it would raise Rs 22.50 billion (nearly $271 million) by selling shares and warrants to aid growth plans.

Go First did not immediately respond to the media report.

The carrier's bankruptcy filing lists Central Bank of India (CBI.NS), Bank of Baroda (BOB.NS), IDBI Bank (IDBI.NS) and Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) among its creditors to whom it owes a total of 65.21 billion rupees ($784.60 million).
