Tuesday, the Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGCA) received a proposal from Go First Airways lessors to deregister an additional 22 aircraft.
Go First, which has filed for insolvency, has a fleet of 55 aircraft, and the DGCA has received requests to deregister 45 aircraft. Due to engine issues, half of them have been suspended for several months. If DGCA approves the deregistration request, 80% of Go First Airlines’ fleet will be affected.
A senior DGCA official has verified that deregistration requests from multiple lessors have been received. They have received deregistration requests for 45 out of 55 total aircraft.
Lessors are pursuing repossession of their aircraft prior to a decision on Go First’s application for insolvency.
On May 4, aircraft lessors approached DGCA regarding the deregistration of 23 Go First Airways aircraft.
