Go First gets nod to restart flights, with conditions
Mint Mumbai
|July 22, 2023
The civil aviation regulator has granted conditional approval for Go First to resume flights with 15 aircraft or 114 daily flights, in a respite to the airline that has been grounded since its bankruptcy filing in May.
The low-fare airline may resume scheduled flight operations on the availability of interim funding and the approval of flight schedule by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the regulator said in a statement.
“The airline is currently ready to start operations with 15 aircraft and in sync with the availability of the pilot strength available as of now. The plan is to scale this further up as the operations commence," an official aware of the development said on condition of anonymity.
In the latest order on its resumption, the regulator has directed the airline to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, implement continued airworthiness of the aircraft engaged in operations, and subject every aircraft to a satisfactory handling flight before deployment for flight operations.

A case for loafing about
Taylor Swift apparently spends 60% of her time talking about bread (\"it's a loaf story,\" to quote her)—as I learnt from a reel I came across while trying to avoid getting down to the real work of the day (or should I say loafing about)—and it made me wonder when we became so obsessed about what came out of a packet and was eaten when we were sick.
