In 2023, the airline faced difficulties with the availability of Pratt & Whitney engines used on its entire fleet of A320 aircraft, alleging that the problem was impacting its operations.

[3] In March 2008, the airline announced revised plans to operate 11 aircraft and service new destinations in the North East and South India by the end of the year.

[6] In November 2009, GoAir entered into talks with Indian airline SpiceJet over a possible merger, but the discussions ended without a deal.

[11] According to the airline, it was a planned strategy due to the tough aviation environment in India, focusing on maintaining profitability rather than capturing market share or increasing the number of destinations and fleet size.

[16] GoAir became the sixth Indian domestic carrier to fly internationally when it launched its inaugural flight to Phuket from Delhi on 11 October 2018.

[22] The airline claimed to have been largely impacted by supply chain issues with Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engines, which power its entire fleet of A320neo aircraft.

[23] The airline also sued Pratt & Whitney in a United States federal court, seeking to enforce an arbitral award directing the supply of engines as contracted.

[25] The airline sought interim directions from NCLT to continue functioning and requested restrictions on any adverse regulatory action, but this was denied.

[28] On 13 February 2024, it was announced that Go First had received a 60-day extension for its insolvency resolution process, allowing potential investors to submit their proposals for the carrier's revival.

[29] As of February 2024, Ajay Singh, the Chairman and Managing Director of SpiceJet, along with Nishant Pitti, majority stakeholder of Busy Bee Airways and co-founder of EaseMyTrip, submitted a bid for GoFirst amounting to ₹600 crore (US$69 million).

The total dues of Go First—including claims from vendors and lessors—were pegged at ₹11,463 crore (US$1.3 billion), which they planned to pay off by 'monetising' two land parcel owned by Go First in Mumbai.

[30] On 1 May 2024, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation deregistered all 54 aircraft leased to Go First following a Delhi High Court order issued on 26 April.

[49] In 2011, it launched its frequent flyer programme called Go Club, offering benefits like lounge access and free upgrade to Go Business.

[51] Go First was rated as the "Best Domestic Airline For Excellence in Quality and Efficient Service" by the Pacific Area Travel Writers Association in 2008.
