Mumbai, May 11, 2023 – Go First, formerly known as GoAir, is expected to resume its flight operations on May 24 after a temporary suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the airline is likely to restart its services with a reduced fleet size, indicating the cautious approach adopted by the company amidst the ongoing challenges faced by the aviation industry.
Go First, one of India’s leading low-cost carriers, had temporarily suspended its flights as travel restrictions and reduced passenger demand severely impacted the aviation sector. As the situation gradually improves and travel restrictions ease, the airline is preparing to resume operations, albeit with a smaller fleet.
The decision to restart flights with fewer aircraft is a strategic move aimed at optimizing resources and managing costs in the current market scenario. By operating a reduced fleet, Go First aims to align its operations with the current demand and ensure better utilization of its available resources.
The airline industry continues to face uncertainties and challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Reduced passenger numbers and changing travel patterns have compelled airlines to adopt a flexible approach in their operations. Go First’s decision to restart with a reduced fleet size reflects its pragmatic response to the prevailing market conditions.
Go First has been implementing stringent health and safety measures to ensure the well-being of its passengers and crew members. The airline has incorporated enhanced cleaning protocols, implemented social distancing measures, and mandated the use of face masks onboard its flights. These measures are in line with the guidelines provided by the regulatory authorities to ensure a safe and secure travel experience.
As the aviation industry gradually recovers from the impact of the pandemic, Go First aims to regain its momentum and rebuild passenger confidence. The resumption of flights on May 24 is a positive step towards resuming normal operations, reconnecting cities, and facilitating the movement of people and goods across the country.
