GoAir cancels several flights due to crew shortage, low visibility

NEW DELHI : Wadia Group-owned no frill carrier GoAir on Monday cancelled several flights across the country due to combination of factors, including crew shortage and low visibility amid smog across swathe of northern India, the airline said in a statement.

Protests against the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which have affected road and railway transport, is also a reason for the flight cancellations, the airline said, adding it has initiated all possible steps to minimize inconvenience to passengers.

The flight cancellations come amid a series of snags with Pratt &Whitney (PW) powered Airbus A320 Neo planes, which make up for a large portion of GoAir’s fleet.
