However, the DGCA clarified that ticket sales can only be confirmed after the regulator has approved the flight schedule.Following this announcement, Go First announced on Tuesday that it has started its handling flights – which are operated when an aircraft has been grounded for a long time – from Mumbai. Handling flights are mandated by the DGCA to ensure that the aircraft remains operation ready.On May 2, Go First announced the cancellation of its flights after filing for voluntary bankruptcy before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). The airline blamed delays on the part of Pratt & Whitney, a US-based engine manufacturer, for its inability to meet imminent financial obligations.
