Go First Update News: Go First has once again announced the cancellation of its aircraft operations till 30 July 2023.

DGCA has allowed GoFirst to operate 115 flights daily with 15 aircraft. Regulation said that airlines can start booking tickets after the flight schedule is approved. On July 25, the company tweeted that it has started handling flights from Mumbai. Airlines operate handling flights first after the aircraft has not flown for a long time. Through this rule, DGCA wants to ensure that the aircraft is ready for operation.
The DGCA, while allowing GoFirst to fly, said in its conditions that it is very important for the airlines to have an air operator certificate. Also, the aircraft used in the operation should be in a better condition to fly. No aircraft should be used in operation without a handling flight. DGCA said that the resolution professional will have to provide information about flight schedules, aircraft condition, pilots, cabin crew, AMEs, flight dispatchers to the regulator.
