Delhi/Mumbai: Low fare carrier GoAir plans from next calendar year to fly to neighbouring international regions and also operate charter services to Europe, two people in the know said Saturday.

In a proposal to the civil aviation ministry,the Wadia group owned airline has asked for permission to fly to most regional routes including Gulf, Central Asia, South east Asia and China, said one of the people requesting anonymity

It also requested for charter flights to Europe. Go Air currently operates a handful of charters--roughly 2% of its capacity--to destinations like Port Blair, said the person said without elaborating.
