Go First Airlines flight operations to remain cancelled from May 3-5

Go First Airlines stated on Tuesday that its flights will be cancelled from May 3 to May 5, and that travellers will receive a full refund.

The official media account of Go First Airlines took to Twitter and said,” Due to operational reasons, GoFirst flights for 3rd, 4th and 5th May 2023 have been cancelled. We sincerely apologise to our loyal customers. We assure you that we will be back with more information soon. A full refund will be issued through the original mode of payment shortly”. The airline has also advised the passengers to contact its customer care centre at 1800 2100 999 or write an email to feedback@flygofirst.com for any help.

Earlier on Tuesday, India’s aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), issued a show cause notice to India’s low-cost carrier Go First Airlines for failing to notify the DGCA of flight cancellations on May 3 and 4.

In this regard, Go First Airlines said that due to the non-supply of engines by the US-based Jet engines manufacturer, operations will remain cancelled.

Over 5,000 people work for the airline, including pilots and cabin crew. They are now concerned about their future because they do not want to be like Jet Airways, which went bankrupt in April 2019 and laid off nearly 15,000 people.
