It was only a few days ago that India's Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia tweeted about the skyrocketing domestic airline passenger traffic post-Covid and related it to the country's high growth. On April 30, India reached a milestone as domestic air traffic hit a record high with 4,56,082 passengers and 2,978 flights taking off on a single day. Days later, a domestic airlines carrier, Go First, filed for bankruptcy after suspending flights for days due to a lack of cash. 

Go First, owned by the Wadia Group, filed for involuntary solvency on May 2, Tuesday, marking the first major airline collapse in India since Jet Airways in 2019. Several flights were cancelled without any notice much to the frustration of passengers. Go First has promised to refund the ticket expenses to passengers. 

Below is a statement from Go First Airlines regarding cancelled flights. It is not known whether Go First will operate flights once again post-May 5.

Following the cancellation of flights, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued a show-cause notice to the airline for the cancellations.
