“A small audit of the airline is expected next week to check for Go First’s on-ground readiness in terms of resuming flights and airworthiness of aircraft, which have been grounded since 2 May," a senior official said.

The official added that the plan is to restart operations “as early as possible and most likely during the month of July". This restart plan was discussed and the audit schedule was decided in a meeting that took place between senior officials of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the airline’s team led by resolution professional Shailendra Ajmera.
