In the wake of its recent announcement ofsuspension of all flight operations due to engine shortages, Go First airline has conveyed to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) that it is unable to provide a definite timeline for the resumption of its services.
Earlier this month, Go First faced significant challenges resulting from a shortage of engines for its fleet. Consequently, the airline made the difficult decision to halt all flight operations. To address the situation, Go First has initiated the voluntary insolvency procedure, seeking the involvement of the aviation watchdog to help resolve the matter.
In response to the airline’s current crisis, Go First provided a reply to the DGCA on Tuesday. The airline explicitly stated that it is unable to offer a specific timeframe for the resumption of its operations. This communication was relayed to the DGCA, highlighting the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the airline’s future plans.
