“We regret to inform you that due to operational reasons, Go First flights scheduled till May 30, 2023, have been cancelled. We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the flight cancellations," the airline said. “A full refund will be issued to the original mode of payment shortly," it further said.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) earlier this week asked airlines to submit a detailed restructuring plan for a sustainable revival of operations within 30 days.

“The airline has been asked to furnish,inter-alia, the status of availability of operational aircraft fleet, post holders required, pilots and other personnel, maintenance arrangements, funding/working capital, arrangements with lessors and vendors etc, for the sustainable revival of operations," a DGCA official said.

According to media reports, several aircraft lessors of Go First urged the Delhi High Court for the deregistration of their planes by the DGCA so they could take them back from the crisis-hit airline.

The lessors claimed that the DGCA's refusal to deregister was "illegitimate."
