BOC Aviation moves NCLT take back plane from Go First
BOC Aviation has moved the NCLT to secure an Airbus A320Neo aircraft that it has leased to Go First, the cash-strapped airline. BOC Aviation made the application after an appellate court on Monday upheld NCLT’s order admitting Go First’s insolvency petition. Meanwhile,Lessors of Go First aircraft are taking several steps, such as mounting legal challenges and lobbying with the finance ministry, to get possession of the aircraft. While some lessors such as BOC Aviation, Pembroke Leasing and Accipiter Investments Aircraft have moved the NCLT and Delhi High Court, other lessors, who are backed by some of the world’s largest firms, have approached the ministries of civil aviation and finance. Further, the suspended board of Go First has taken proactive measures by filing caveats in the Supreme Court against four aircraft leasing companies, which are seeking to deregister their aircraft from the airline’s fleet in order to repossess them. By filing caveats, the board is trying to ensure the airline gets a prior notice before legal action is initiated against it. Meanwhile, cash-strapped Go First, which abruptly stopped operations from May 3, has told the DGCA that it does not have a definite timeline yet for resuming flights.. Go First’s plea for voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings was filed on May 2 and it suspended its operations on May 3 and has announced to keep it suspended till May 26.
