The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday issued a show cause notice to Go First airline, asking why its licence—the Air Operator Certificate (AOC)—should not be cancelled as the carrier has scrapped hundreds of flights and initiated an insolvency resolution process.
The regulator also requested that the airline cease all ticket sales immediately. Go First, which commenced an insolvency resolution process on May 2, had already cancelled flights until May 12 and halted the sale of new tickets for flights scheduled between May 13 and May 22.
