Several passengers were stranded and had their tickets cancelled after airline provider Go First decided to suspend all their flights on May 3 and 4.
Passengers vented out their anger and frustration over the decision of the airline provider to not fly on Wednesday and Thursday on social media, expressing their displeasure over flight cancellations.

Go First is the worst airline, they did the check in G8 283 Pune to Nagpur and at last moment they canceled it. Now it's a common issue of this airline. Passengers has their medical issues, jobs, now left with no option ..Airline people are to rude,— Satish ubale (@ubale_satish) May 2, 2023
@GoFirstairways @DGCAIndia I contacted my booking partner @makemytrip, it was being told to me that you are late many of the passengers have rescheduled before you. There were no option given by GoFirst for alternatives for 2 days. It was a family trip planned by me.— Shailesh Sakpal (@SRS_016) May 2, 2023
@GoFirstairways @DGCAIndia Everything was planned for next 4 days. Now who will take responsibility for those cancellations or extra perks I had spent on my booking. @GoFirstairways kindly do needful and reply soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.— Shailesh Sakpal (@SRS_016) May 2, 2023
Gofirst the worst airlines . They have been cancelling or repeatedly rescheduling flights since past 3 months or more creating monetary loss and mental agony to passengers @GoFirstairways— DEL POTRO (@Rodio441) May 2, 2023
@GoFirstairways why the hell have you cancelled my flight 2 days before departure? Other flight tickets are twice the amount now. None of your customer care numbers are reachable. Your site is hopeless where it is not allowing to refund. Pathetic airlines— Anish Kanekar (@anex011) May 2, 2023

The airline decided to suspend all its flights on both those days and announced that it has filed an application for voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in New Delhi. The announcement was made by airline CEO Kaushik Khona.
“It is an unfortunate decision (filing for voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings) but it had to be done to protect the interests of the company,” he said.
