Go First Struggles To Resume Operations, Flight Cancellation Extended Till July 10

The fleet of the cash-strapped carrier has been grounded since May 3.

Crisis-hit airline Go First on Tuesday informed that its scheduled flight operations will remain cancelled till July 10 due to operational reasons. The fleet of the cash-strapped carrier has been grounded since May 3.

The airline operator filed for voluntary bankruptcy in early May before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), alleging delays on the part of a US-based engine maker for its inability to promptly meet obligations - leading to the grounding of a portion of its fleet.

There were reports that the grounding of the Go First flights had put pressure on airfares, particularly on select routes where the now-grounded airline had its footprint.

Last week, Resolution Professionals (RP) submitted a detailed plan for Go First revival before the Directorate of General Civil Aviation (DGCA).
