GoAir has plans to add another more flights in their network in the coming days and take up their flight capacity to 600 flights per week in the process, as per a press release from the airline today. The airline, in the process, expects to reach 45% of pre-CoVid-19 levels by September 21 and 60% of pre-CoVid19 operation levels by October 15, 2020. The airline was hit, amongst other players, but their market share has dipped to 3.8% of domestic flights in July 2020, as compared to 9.8% in January 2020 before the pandemic hit.

The Indian domestic sector is witnessing a gradual growth in demand owing to increased traffic. As the various states start withdrawing travel restrictions, demand will continue to grow and GoAir has always been responsive to market conditions and provided enhanced travel options to our guests. More importantly, GoAir will not cancel any flights starting 5th September.

Further, the CEO assured that if for whatever reason a flight gets cancelled, your money won’t be stuck in a credit shell but will be refunded immediately.

  1. I have made booking through Easymytrip Delhi to Srinagar 29th Aug 2020 under PNR no D96CNG for two passengers. But flight has been cancelled by GoAir lines now they are refusing to give us refund rather they should make us another arrangement… It’s very regretful that they are not give us refund.
