Go First’s bankruptcy and SpiceJet's troubles highlight challenges faced by airlines in maintaining sustainable operations in India's highly competitive and cost-sensitive market.
Go First approached the Delaware court to enforce an arbitration order in Singapore against P&W, which it blames for its financial troubles by arguing the US firm failed to supply engines on time.
SMBC, along with other international firms, raised the alarm after NCLT gave Go First bankruptcy protection to allow it to revive itself, but barred lessors from repossessing planes.
If the tribunal admits Go First's plea, it will lead to the appointment of a new resolution professional who will take over management to revive the airline run by Wadia Group.
Go First has been given 15 days to reply to the notice, following which a decision on the continuation of their Air Operators Certificate (AOC) would be taken.
Wadia Group-owned Go First said in petition to NCLT that it owes Rs 11,463 cr to creditors & that its assets 'are not sufficient to meet its liabilities'.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
