In a potential setback to Go First's insolvency process, a single bench of the Delhi High Court on Thursday directed the airline's resolution professional (RP) to provide key aircraft documents to its lessors within seven days.

These documents include records on the removal of engines parts and airframe, besides storage, historical data, online records, and any documents relevant to the airworthiness of aircraft, including updated technical records and statements.

The court has also mandated that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), through the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, allow lessors access to pertinent documents.

That apart the court said, security arrangements must be put in place to enable lessors inspect the aircraft.

The HC also clarified that while GO First will continue to be responsible for maintaining the aircraft, lessors will have the right to inspect the aircraft as part of the agreement.
