Go First, a carrier with over 17 years of operation, has ceased flights since May 3 due to a financial crisis resulting from the grounding of more than 50 per cent of its Airbus A320 Neos. The unavailability of Pratt and Whitney engines has been the primary cause for this setback.

The airline recently received bankruptcy protection, but this has caused conflicts with lessors seeking to repossess planes for missed payments, leading to negative outlook from aviation watchdogs.
