00:00
Well, these are some turbulent times for India's aviation sector with GoFirst, one of the country's
00:09
budget airlines, suddenly filing for bankruptcy. GoFirst's announcement left thousands of people
00:15
stranded in different parts of the country. Initially, they cancelled their flights for
00:19
two days and have now extended that at least until the middle of May. And we don't know
00:24
if and when they will actually be able to fly again. Now GoFirst's collapse is good
00:29
news for other airlines which will obviously want to pick up their passenger load and it
00:34
comes at a time when Indian aviation is actually booming because most airlines are reporting
00:38
a more than 90% occupancy and this happens to be the peak travel season. But it's actually
00:43
really bad news for passengers like you and me because airfares have already gone up on
00:47
those sectors that GoFirst was operating on in particular. Ultimately, for India's aviation
00:53
market to be more passenger friendly, we need more players and more competition. And that
00:59
is what will help.
