Actually, Go Air is focusing on ULCC (ultra-low-cost carrier), which is why it has taken this decision. On May 13, the airline formally said in a statement that it was rebranding itself as Go First. Let me tell you that the airline started operations in 2005 and its fleet has only more than 50 aircraft, even as the rival IndiGo which started a year later, is more than 5 times in size.
