"New Rule: Airlines Must Deliver Checked-in Baggage within 30 Minutes"

The Indian aviation safety regulator has directed seven airlines to ensure that baggage is delivered within 30 minutes of arriving at the gate, as per the Service Quality Requirements of Operation, Management and Delivery Agreement (OMDA). This requirement, already part of service standards, must be implemented by February 26, 2024, and applies to both the first and last bag. The directive aims to address baggage delivery issues and improve customer experience, although some travelers have reported that their bags typically arrive within the specified timeframe.

Go First airline grounded after bankruptcy filing and flight cancellations.

Go First, a cash-strapped Indian airline, has filed for bankruptcy proceedings due to the grounding of about half its fleet, blaming "faulty" Pratt & Whitney engines. The airline's total debt to financial creditors is $797m, and it has defaulted on payments to operational creditors, including $146.9m to vendors and $325m to aircraft lessors. The collapse could benefit rival airlines as the industry tries to meet a surge in post-pandemic air travel.

Go First airline files for bankruptcy and blames Pratt & Whitney for financial woes.

Indian airline Go First has filed for bankruptcy, citing "faulty" Pratt & Whitney engines for grounding about half its fleet. The move marks the first major airline collapse in India since Jet Airways filed for bankruptcy in 2019, and highlights the fierce competition in a sector dominated by IndiGo and the recent merger of Air India and Vistara under the Tata conglomerate. Go First's lenders were taken by surprise, and will meet soon to assess the situation and decide on the future course of action.
