After stunted growth for some time, GoAir, the airline operated by the Wadia group, plans to expand operations.
 
It will add three A320 neos by the end of August and new frequencies in the ongoing (till end-October) summer schedule. But, no new destinations; it will focus on increasing the capacity in existing markets.
 
“Currently, the places we fly to represent almost 85 per cent of the domestic market. What we want to do is connect these cities with higher frequencies. That’s what our route planning will mirror in the near future,” Wolfgang-Prock-Scahuer, chief executive officer (CEO), told Business Standard.
