India govt wants Go First flights to resume as soon as possible: Minister

The Indian government wants Go Airlines (India) Ltd flights to resume as soon as possible, the civil aviation minister said on Thursday, a week after the troubled low-cost carrier was granted bankruptcy protection.

Recently rebranded as Go First, India’s sixth largest airline filed for bankruptcy protection earlier in May blaming its financial woes on “faulty” Pratt & Whitney engines that grounded about half of its 54 Airbus A320neos.

The U.S. engine maker, part of Raytheon Technologies, has said the claim was without merit.
