Go First Creditors Vote for Airline Liquidation Amid Financial Woes

In a decisive move, creditors of Go First have voted for the liquidation of the airline. This decision marks the end of Go First?s operations following prolonged financial difficulties.

The creditors? vote came after Go First faced insurmountable financial challenges, including mounting debts and an inability to sustain operations. The airline, known for its budget-friendly services, struggled to stay afloat in a highly competitive market.

The liquidation process will involve selling off the airline?s assets to repay its creditors. This includes its fleet of aircraft, valuable slots at various airports, and other assets. The move is expected to affect thousands of employees and disrupt travel plans for numerous passengers.

Go First, previously known as GoAir, was established as a low-cost carrier aimed at providing affordable air travel across India. Despite its initial success and growth, the airline's financial health deteriorated over the years due to various factors such as rising fuel costs, intense competition, and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In recent months, Go First had attempted to restructure its debts and seek financial assistance, but these efforts proved insufficient. The decision to liquidate follows failed attempts to secure additional funding or find a viable buyer to take over the airline.

The airline industry in India has been under significant stress, with Go First being the latest casualty. Other airlines are also grappling with financial instability, raising concerns about the overall health of the sector.

Passengers with bookings on Go First will be entitled to refunds, and the airline has promised to communicate with them regarding the process. However, the liquidation marks a sombre end to the carrier that once aimed to make air travel accessible to all.

The liquidation process will be closely monitored, with the priority being to maximise returns for the creditors and minimise disruptions for passengers and employees. This development serves as a stark reminder of the volatile nature of the aviation industry and the challenges faced by airlines globally
