Hiren Prajapati of Gandhinagar, who was to fly to Goa, had arrived at the airport with his family eager to enjoy the tour. However, sources suggest that the non-supply of engines, pending fuel bills, and airport charges may also contribute to the grounding of flights.Īnuj Pathak, President of the Tour Operators and Travel Agents Association of Gujarat, acknowledged the strain on travel agents and tour operators, who now face reputational damage. Khona assured that flights would eventually resume. Go First’s Chief, Kaushik Khona, explained that the decision was made in the interest of stakeholders and due to the airline’s current financial crunch. Passengers and travel associations are now demanding stringent action against the airline from the Director General of Civil Aviation and the Government of India. Insiders from the aviation industry and travel associations speculate that the resumption of suspended flights may be a distant possibility. Thousands of passengers nationwide are now demanding refunds, with many expressing outrage at the airline’s handling of the situation. On Tuesday, around 180 passengers bound for Goa were left stranded at Ahmedabad Airport, with similar scenes unfolding at airports across the country. Sources revealed that Go First has applied for voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings on Tuesday at the Airline National Law Tribunal in Delhi, grounding 50% of its fleet, or 28 aircraft, in the process. The situation worsened when stranded passengers at the Ahmedabad airport were met with silence from the airline staff, resulting in chaos. The unexpected move has thrown travel operators into a state of panic and left passengers who had booked tickets for the upcoming vacation season scrambling for alternative arrangements. Vacationers were left in disarray as Go First, a low-budget airline, temporarily suspended flights for May 3 and May 4, cancelling their scheduled services from the city airport.
