GoAir has, in the interim, lost rights and slots for international flights

28 May 2024 CW Team

An airline needs slots at both airports in order to begin flight operations, even once such flying rights are granted to it. The time and date that an airline's aircraft is allowed to take off or land at an airport is known as a slot. The committee that assigns the spots is made up of civil aviation ministry and DGCA officials, airport operators, and airlines, among others. The Civil Aviation Ministry made this decision in an effort to assist travellers by flight. With approval from the Centre, other airlines operating in the same industry can now formally maintain the rights of the bankrupt airline. Each week, nearly a new aircraft is added to the fleets of Tata Group companies IndiGo and Air India. Both AI Express and Akasa intend to expand quickly in spite of Boeing's problems with the B737 MAX, which is the aircraft that these two airlines have bought.

Nishant Pitti, the CEO of the online travel agency EaseMyTrip, had earlier said on Saturday that the business has chosen to forgo its acquisition proposal in order to focus on its areas of expertise. He emphasised that, in order to focus on their primary areas of strength, they had chosen to withdraw from the GoAir bid. Their focus remains on leveraging our expertise and resources to achieve sustainable growth and success.

Formerly owned by the Wadia group, Go First is involved in a lawsuit against P&W in the Singapore Court of Arbitration. The airline has filed for compensation, claiming that the failure of P&W engines caused it to ground several planes, leading to its bankruptcy.

As GoAir temporarily lost slots and international bilateral rights to other airlines, such as Air India and IndiGo, problems grew for the carrier. A bilateral air services agreement, which determines the maximum number of flights (or seats) each week that can be permitted to fly from one country to another, must be negotiated and signed by the airlines of that country in order for them to operate international flights to that other country.
