A court imposed moratorium on Go First’s international flying rights is stopping Indian airlines to deploy more flights on popular routes. This is likely to cause a spike in airfare during the upcoming festive and winter season, airline executives have warned.
Flying rights are allocated on a bilateral reciprocal basis by the government to airlines of their country. Airlines cannot operate more flights than they are allotted. Before filing for bankruptcy, Go First had obtained flying rights on lucrative international destinations like Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Oman.
