GoAir to add 200 flights, plans to take two aircraft on lease

Mumbai: The Wadia group-promoted budget air-carrier Go Air plans to add 200 flights to its summer schedule, starting from 29 March, according to a source.
This will take the total number of flights being operated by the carrier to 1,850 per month. At present, GoAir operates 1,650 flights a month.
The airline also plans to add two new destinations from 6 April -- Nagpur and Nanded in Maharashtra -- as both these cities offer a good business potential, the source said.
GoAir is also eyeing Pune in Maharashtra and has applied to the authorities to provide slots at the Pune airport, the source said.
GoAir has a firm order for two aircraft -- Airbus 320, the source said.
The budget airline is presently in negotiations with a few players to take two aircraft on dry lease on a short-term contract of up to two-years, the source said.
