Airlines Ordered to Deliver Baggage Within 30 Minutes of Landing

Indian airlines, including Air India, Vistara, and IndiGo, have been ordered by the civil aviation ministry to ensure passengers' bags are delivered within 10 to 30 minutes after landing, with the first bag arriving within 10 minutes of the plane's engine shutting down. This directive follows persistent issues with late baggage delivery at Indian airports, and airlines have until 26 February to comply with the order. The ministry's review found that while airlines' baggage delivery performance had improved, it still did not meet the mandated guidelines, prompting the directive to implement necessary measures for timely baggage delivery.

Go Air: From Billionaire Backing to Near Collapse

Go Airlines India, backed by a billionaire, is on the verge of shutting down permanently after failing to attract a buyer since entering bankruptcy protection in May. The CEO has resigned, citing the inability to get the carrier flying again and unpaid staff salaries. The airline has canceled all scheduled flights until February 4, and if it collapses, it would be the 12th Indian airline to do so this century. The company's creditors may sell assets in a piecemeal fashion, as it owes about $780 million to financial creditors. The country's biggest carriers, IndiGo and Air India, dominate the market, while other airlines have struggled or folded.

Go First airline owner remains optimistic despite bankruptcy filing.

Go Airlines (India) Ltd owner Wadia Group has confirmed its commitment to the airline despite its recent bankruptcy filing, which blamed faulty Pratt & Whitney engines for grounding half its fleet. The insolvency proceedings are aimed at reviving the airline, not selling it, and the company is looking to dissuade lessors from taking action. Some parties have expressed interest in the airline, but no further details have been shared. The bankruptcy may boost airfares in India and give other domestic airlines a chance to grab a larger market share, with IndiGo facing similar problems with P&W engines but better able to maneuver the crisis due to its larger fleet size and better negotiations with the vendor.
