Low-cost airline Go First (formerly GoAir) filed for bankruptcy in early May. The company has been battling engine failures for some time that have grounded a large number of its planes.
Go First canceled flights and filed for voluntary bankruptcy with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on May 2, accusing US engine maker Pratt & Whitney of failing to meet its obligations in a timely manner, causing flight delays and grounding parts of its fleet.
On May 10, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) imposed a moratorium and appointed an Interim Resolution Expert (IRP). Subsequently, on June 9, the Committee of Creditors (CoC) appointed Shailendra Ajmera as Resolution Specialist (RP) for Go First, which was subsequently approved by NCLT.
The airline has about 4,200 employees and has an operating revenue of Rs 4,183 crore for the 2021-22 financial year. There have been reports that the grounding of Go First flights has put pressure on airfares, especially on some of the routes it operates.
