Slots held by Jet Airways at Mumbai Airport have been temporarily re-distributed among other airlines. Vistara and AirAsia India were the first to add flights. SpiceJet was next, they added a handful of flights since they are currently dealing with MAX groundings. Next in line was IndiGo, which announced additional flights from Mumbai Terminal 2.

IndiGo further expanded their presence at Mumbai’s & Delhi’s Terminal 2 by adding 18 more domestic flights temporarily. Air India added a single new international flight from Mumbai from May 1, 2019, which they have pushed back to May 31, 2019, in light of the recent terror attacks in SriLanka. Now, SpiceJet has launched additional flights from Mumbai and Delhi’s Terminal 2, as they are taking delivery of 22 Jet Airways 737s.

Now, GoAir has made their move. GoAir will add additional flights from Mumbai’s and Delhi’s Terminal 2 from April 26, 2019. All three LCCs will now operate temporary domestic flights out of Mumbai’s Terminal 2. The new flights are,

GoAir grounded around 20% of its fleet earlier and even deferred deliveries of newer A320neo. They are even pulling out of the Maldives. Now, GoAir is finally taking delivery of A320neos and bringing back grounded aircraft, it seems. However, we don’t know when do these flights end, since these are only temporary flight schedules to start. With this, only Air India is left to announce new domestic flights.

Air India also has 24 grounded aircraft at the moment and is looking to lease Jet Airways 777s. Additionally, they will soon take delivery of the last A320neo on order. Maybe they are waiting for the right time to add new flights from Mumbai and Delhi.

Will you be travelling on the new flights announced by GoAir?
