Go First, which filed for bankruptcy, earlier had announced that its flight operations will remain cancelled from May 3 to 5. However, some reports suggest that flight operations would remain suspended till May 15.
Earlier, the DGCA had asked Go First to process refunds for passengers who were affected by its flight cancellations this week, news agency ANI reported on Thursday.
In the meantime, Go First has suspended sale of tickets till May 15 and is working to refund or reschedule existing bookings for future dates, aviation regulator DGCA said on Thursday.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had issued a show cause notice to the airline after it suddenly decided to cancel flights for three days starting May 3.
“Go First has intimated that they have suspended sale of their flights till 15 May 2023 and are working to refund or reschedule for future dates, the passengers already booked to fly with them,” the regulator said in a statement.
After examining the reply filed by Go First, the watchdog has issued an order “under the prevailing regulations directing them to process the refunds to passengers as per the timelines specifically stipulated in the relevant regulation”.
