Can Restart With 152 Daily Flights, Go First Tells DGCA

Go First has apprised the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of being able to operate 152 daily flights as soon as its resumption plan hits the tarmac, company executives informed Business Standard on Monday.

Currently under the administration of insolvency resolution professional Abhilash Lal, the airline has been inoperational since May 3. Before the cash-strapped airline went under, it used to operate 200 daily flights (until April).

In a resumption plan submitted to the DGCA earlier this month, the airline said it has the "requisite" number of employees approximately 675 pilots and 1,300 cabin crew members to operate the 26 operational planes in its fleet.

"We have told the DGCA that these 152 daily flights will be operated using 22 active planes. The remainder four will stay on the ground as spare aircraft to be used to ensure schedule consistency in case one of the 22 planes is grounded due to technical issues," said one of the executives.
