An Ireland-based lessor wants India’s bankrupt Go First airline to replace “robbed” parts from its leased jets and allow it to appoint round the clock security to guard grounded aircraft, the latest escalation in efforts to reclaim its Airbus planes.
The plea, detailed in a Sept. 1 non-public court filing at the Delhi High Court which Reuters has reviewed, comes weeks after ACG Aircraft Leasing found critical parts, including fan blades and escape slides, missing from at least two of the four planes it has leased to Go First.
Go First has been locked in legal disputes with many of its foreign lessors since being granted bankruptcy protection in India in May.
