The airline operator had in early May filed for voluntary insolvency and since then its operations were kept stalled.
The civil aviation regulator <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/aviation-regulator-dgca-issues-show-cause-notice-to-go-first-23284208" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Directorate General of Civil Aviation</a> (DGCA) had advised the Go First airline to submit a comprehensive restructuring or revival plan, within a period of 30 days.
The revival plan once submitted by Go First shall be reviewed by the regulator for further appropriate action in the matter.
Meanwhile, full-service carrier Vistara expects to add a total of 10 planes as well as hire more than 1,000 people in the current financial year and has shelved plans to fly to the US, according to a top executive.
Currently, Vistara, which is set to be merged with Air India, has a fleet of 61 aircraft and a staff strength of over 5,200.
During an interaction, Vistara CEO Vinod Kannan said there has been a ready pool of talent, especially pilots and cabin crew members, with the collapse of Go First.
"Just like Air India and IndiGo, we also recruited them. We wanted to make sure that we took the right number, right people. We went through the usual process that every airline will do. Then, there is the entire job market for the cabin crew where freshers are coming in. We still attract good talent," Kannan told PTI.
Around 50 pilots from Go First have been recruited by the airline.
