Go First

An Indian court has rejected efforts by lessors to overturn a moratorium placed on the reclamation of aircraft operated by Go First.

A large number of Airbus A320neos, A220s and Embraer E2 aircraft are parked as Pratt & Whitney struggles with retrofits and engine supply.

SpiceJet stated categorically that “it has no plans whatsoever to file for insolvency.”

We look at Asia Pacific, China and India utilization, and what the effects of the removal of China’s Zero COVID policy had since December 2022.

What's behind the grounding of scores of airplanes and how Pratt is working to fix it.

An Indian court has accepted Go First’s voluntary bankruptcy application, which will likely protect its aircraft from reclamation from lessors.

Go First filed for bankruptcy protection on May 2, and the case is being considered by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).

Troubled Indian carrier Go First has plans to resume operations despite filing for bankruptcy protection.

The carrier estimates it has lost INR108 billion ($1.3 billion) in revenues and additional expenses due to the engine-related groundings.

While both PW1000G and CFM Leap customers are seeing issues, the problems are far more widespread in the Pratt fleet.
