24 May 2023

Cash-strapped Go First Airlines informed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday that they do not have a definite timeline yet for the resumption of operations. According to ANI tweet, Go First's reply comes in response to the show-cause notice which was issued by the aviation regulator. Meanwhile, the suspended board of Go First filed caveats before the Supreme Court against four aircraft lessors of the crisis-hit airline.

The caveats have been filed by Varun Berry, the Chairman of the suspended board of Go First through his counsel advocate Pranjal Kishore, as per the information available on the website of the Supreme Court of India.

The lessors are - SMBC Aviation Capital Ltd, GY Aviation, SFV Aircraft Holdings, and Engine Leasing Finance BV (ELFC) - owning around 22 airplanes. The caveat has been filed against the order passed by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal on Monday, which upheld the order passed by the Delhi bench of the NCLT on May 10.
