Go First, an Indian airline, is facing challenges as it strives to make a comeback. The airline is currently entangled in a dispute with its lessors, who are unable to repossess their planes due to the ongoing bankruptcy process. To add to their woes, a recent court order has prohibited Go First from removing or changing any aircraft parts, posing a potential hurdle to its comeback plans.

In response to the court order, Go First has filed an appeal in the Delhi High Court, seeking to challenge the restriction on altering aircraft parts. This order could significantly impede the airline’s ability to resume operations.

Airlines regularly undertake maintenance procedures that involve replacing aircraft components, both as part of routine maintenance and unscheduled repairs. However, the latest court order prevents Go First from carrying out any procedures that necessitate changing specific parts, even if required for operational reasons.

An anonymous source mentioned to the Economic Times that removing unused parts from an aircraft is a common practice to ensure an adequate supply of spare components and engines for the business. Sometimes, it becomes necessary to replace small components or seats before a flight.

The source further explained that seeking permission before each part replacement would be extremely challenging for the airline, as replacements might be required between multiple flights operated by the same aircraft.

The uncertainty surrounding Go First’s future prospects has caused concern among its lenders. While the lenders had previously approved funding of approximately $50 million, pending regulatory approval, the recent court order has raised doubts and could potentially disrupt the airline’s plans.

The extended grounding of Go First does not bode well, as seen in the case of Jet Airways, where a prolonged grounding resulted in the loss of parking slots and skilled employees.

Meanwhile, Go First’s flights remain suspended until July 12th, according to the airline’s website. An Indian court recently instructed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and local airport authorities to grant Go First’s lessors access to the aircraft for inspections and maintenance purposes.

In addition, Go First has placed an advertisement inviting Expressions of Interest for the sale of the carrier as part of the ongoing process. The outcome of this initiative remains to be seen as the deadline for applications is August 9th.
