In response to Go First's cancellation of flights during the busy summer travel season, Air India and IndiGo have seized the opportunity by ramping on frequency on popular routes like Delhi-Srinagar and Delhi-Leh, while IndiGo has introduced new flights connecting Mumbai to these cities.
Additionally, Vistara has also increased the frequency of its Delhi-Mumbai flights.
The enhanced flight frequencies are specifically aimed at meeting the high demand for air travel to Go First's popular leisure destinations. With the current holiday season underway, fares in these sectors are expected to rise.
As of now, Go Firsts slots are unused and hence the government has allotted them to other airlines. They will be reverted back to Go First as and when the service resumes. Besides, with one airline down during peak holiday travel season, would lead to exponential fare hike causing passenger distress.
