Amid surge in airfares, civil aviation ministry analyses routes impacted by Go First crisis

Amid a surge in airfares on certain routes, the civil aviation ministry is doing an analysis of routes that have been affected by the suspension of flights by Go First. Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Thursday said there is an unusual situation due to the Go First crisis and there has been an excess demand on the routes the airline had been operating.

Go First, which is undergoing an insolvency resolution process, has not been flying since May 3.

“We have given additional routes to other airlines but it is a piquant situation… I doubt any other sector has seen the vicissitudes that civil aviation has seen in the last three years,” he said while speaking at the India Economic Conclave here.
