Since May 3, Go First has been non-operational. On May 10, the NCLT granted Go First’s request to begin voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings, and Abhilash Lal of Alvarez and Marsal was chosen as the airline’s IRP.

The changes occur less than a day after the insolvency tribunal NCLT served a notice on the crisis-hit airline’s interim resolution professional in response to a complaint made by supply chain firm Delhivery. They claim that the carrier’s bankruptcy process is a fraud. It said that despite being aware that Delhivery was requesting voluntary insolvency before NCLT, the airline nonetheless accepted payments from Delhivery totaling 57 lakh rupees on May 2, the day it submitted its plea.
