Go First senior management deserted, sales head latest executive to quit

Currently, only two vice presidents (legal and in-flight services), along with heads of the IOCC and customer services, remain in the senior management, along with a handful of junior staff, sources say. The entire mid-management reportedly left the airline in tranches last year, as per sources.

"Since most of the senior management, the entire mid-management, and the general workforce have already quit the airline, the task of resuming operations in the event of successful resolutions will not be easier," they added.

As the entire fleet of commanders has also departed from the grounded carrier, those who will be inducted will need to be current on their flight training, which will take its own time.

"So, in any case, it will take at least three months to put the entire system in place before taking the airline to the skies again," sources stated.

Go First has not flown since May 3 last year when it decided to voluntarily file for bankruptcy proceedings.

After initially failing to attract any suitor, Go First received two bids for its acquisition on February 26. SpiceJet promoter Ajay Singh and Busy Bee Airways promoter Nishant Pitti submitted a joint bid in their personal capacity, while the other bid is from Jaideep Mirchandani-owned Sky One Airways.
