“The second half of the year will lead to normalisation of our original plan,” Prock-Schauer said. “We are quite confident of the measures taken by the manufacturer to rectify the faults. Hopefully, after it becomes normal, we can pick up according to our original plan of expansion.”

Domestically, GoAir is adding frequency on existing routes with plans to increase flights by approximately 20% year-on-year, which will take the LCC to 205 daily departures to 23 cities. The carrier is an all-Airbus operator with 23 A320s in its fleet, including five neo. It has outstanding firm orders for 139 A320neo.
