The airline has also suspended the sale of tickets till May 15. Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has asked the airline to refund money to passengers who have booked tickets on the canceled flights.
Cash-strapped airline GoFirst temporarily suspended operations on May 3, 4 and 5. Now the company has said that all its flights will remain canceled till May 9. The Wadia Group-owned airline, which recently filed for bankruptcy, has cited “operational reasons” behind its latest decision to cancel flights for a long period. This appears to be putting a major jeopardy on the future of GoFirst, even as its CEO Kaushik Khona said there are plans to revamp the airline. “We regret to inform that due to operational reasons the GoFirst flights scheduled till May 9, 2023 have been cancelled,” the official statement read.
The airline has also suspended the sale of tickets till May 15. Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has asked the airline to refund money to passengers who have booked tickets on the canceled flights. The DGCA had issued a show cause notice to GoFirst after the airline decided to suspend its flights for three days from May 3. The regulator said in a statement, “GoFirst has informed to stop booking tickets for its flights till May 15.” The airline has said that it will either refund the ticket money to the passengers or allow them to board the flight at a future date.
