India's ultra-low-cost carrier for smart travelers.

Founded

Headquarters

Mumbai, India

Go Air, branded as GoAir, was an Indian ultra-low-cost carrier founded by the Wadia Group, one of India's oldest conglomerates. The airline operated domestic routes across major Indian cities and a limited number of international destinations in the region, positioning itself as a budget-friendly alternative to full-service carriers. The airline commenced operations in 2005 and grew to become one of India's significant low-cost carriers, operating an all-Airbus A320 family fleet. It was known for its lean cost structure and focus on operational efficiency. In May 2022, GoAir filed for voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in India, citing financial difficulties exacerbated by engine supply issues with Pratt & Whitney and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The airline subsequently suspended all flight operations and has not resumed service as of the available knowledge cutoff.

GoAir's primary hub was Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, with a secondary hub at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai.

Fleet

GoAir operated an all-Airbus fleet consisting primarily of A320 and A320neo family aircraft.
