Go First gives no timeline for resumption to DGCA

NEW DELHI: Go First on Tuesday told the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) it hopes to resume operations at the “earliest” but has not given any tentative timeline by when it plans to do so and on what scale. The airline has replied to the show-cause notice issued by the regulator based on which a call is to be taken on its licence.

“After having got reprieve from lessors re-possessing aircraft on Monday (referring to NCLAT upholding NCLT admitting Go First’s insolvency plea), the reply is basically a statement of intent that the airline wishes to resume operations. But this reply does not have details like funding; with how many planes and how many routes they plan to resume operations on. We expect another communication when the IRP (insolvency resolution professional) has something concrete to share,” said people in the know. The regulator had earlier indefinitely barred Go First from selling tickets without its approval.
