GoAir, the country\u2019s fourth-largest airline, has temporarily suspended some flights due to delay in aircraft and engine deliveries from Pratt & Whitney and Airbus. Over the past two weeks, the airline has undertaken unscheduled cancellations on account of this. \u201cWe have been informed by our business partners Airbus and Pratt & Whitney of their inability to deliver previously promised aircraft and engines through March 9, 2020 that are required to support our current growth. As a result, we have been forced to temporarily suspend certain flights that are part of our network, schedule and open for sale,\u201d the airline spokesperson said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The airline did not specify how many flights or how many bookings would be impacted by this move. \u201cLast two weeks, we have had to do unscheduled and knee-jerk cancellations due to the non-availability of aircraft. What we are doing now is, to not get into a situation where there are knee-jerk (cancellations)\u2026 till March 9, till we get all the aircraft and engines promised to us, we will cancel certain flights, depending on our daily schedule,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
