Flight Operations Remain Suspended, May Resume on May 27
Due to operational reasons, Go First has decided to extend the suspension of its flight operations until May 26. Initially grounding its flights on May 3, the budget carrier tentatively plans to resume operations from May 27.
According to some media reports, there have been indications of pilot calls from the airline’s rostering department, inquiring about their availability for operations on May 27, the absence of a business plan submitted by the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) and the departure of several pilots cast doubt on the possibility of resuming operations by the proposed date.
