Wadia group-promoted budget carrier GoAir on Thursday became eligible for international operations with the induction of its 20th aircraft in the fleet with the arrival of its first Airbus A320 neo plane at the Indira Gandhi international Airport on Thursday morning.
GoAir has also became the second operator to have this latest fuel-efficient aircraft from the European aviation major, Airbus.
"GoAir is delighted to welcome A320neo (new engine option) into its fleet. With the induction of the first of our 72 NEO aircraft on order, we have reached a fleet strength of 20 aircraft," GoAir Chief Executive Officer Wolfgang Prock-Schauer said in a statement.
The airline in a gesture towards conserving water in the face of the drought in certain parts of the country, decided not to accept the customary water canon salute to the new aircraft on its arrival.
Globally, when an airline starts its operations to a particular airport or flies a new aircraft, a water canon welcome is given from two fire tenders when the plane lands at the destination airport.
