Six months plan placed in front of DGCA
According to the report published in Financial Express, GoFirst has presented a 6-month revival plan to the aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on 2 June. The Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) has presented this plan to the DGCA. According to the report, the airline is planning to start its operation soon with 26 aircraft.
How did GoFirst’s financial troubles begin?
Go First Air continues to provide cheap air service in the country. The company had applied before the NCLT on 3 May to declare itself bankrupt. Along with this, the airlines had accused Pratt & Whitney, the American company providing the lease, that the airlines had suffered huge losses due to its bad engine. Responding to these allegations, Pratt & Whitney had said that all the allegations of GoFirst were baseless and said that GoFirst has an old history of non-repayment of loans. DGCA and NCLT are constantly trying to restart the operation of Go First.
