‘Can no longer sustain’: Grounded airline Go First CEO Kaushik Khona quits

Go First’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kaushik Khona resigned from his position nearly seven months after the airline filed for insolvency.

Khona was appointed as the CEO of the no-frills airline in 2020 after the incumbent and current Akasa Air CEO, Vinay Dube, stepped down from the position.

Khona said that despite requests to stakeholders, including the resolution professional (RP), committee of creditors and the Wadia group, the airline had failed to pay salaries to its employees “for almost six months”.
