No Go First Flights For Three Days Starting May 3
In a surprise move, Go First airlines, owned by Wadia-group, said on Tuesday that it was cancelling all its flights for three days -- May 3,4, 5 -- in view of a severe fund crunch. The sudden decision by the Mumbai-based low-cost airline, earlier known as Go Air, has left both passengers who had booked tickets as well as crew members in lurch.
"Due to operational reasons, GoFirst flights for May 3,4,5 2023 have been cancelled. We sincerely apologise to our loyal customers. We assure that we'll be back with more information soon," Go First said in a statement. The airline operates around 180-185 flights daily.
Go First, which has been flying for more than 17 years, has filed for voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), saying it was facing a severe financial crunch.
The airline said that the customers who have booked the flights for the mentioned dates will be eligible for a full refund.
