AAI approves night parking of Go First airlines at Srinagar airport

Private airliner Go First, formerly known as GoAir, has become the first airline to receive approval from the Airports Authority of India for night parking at Srinagar as well as Jammu airports, officials said on Friday. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha launched the night parking facility at the airports on Thursday. This provision will ensure late night and early morning take-offs from the two airports.

"This is a significant development for the union territory as the night parking permission will facilitate better flight operations from the region," a Go First spokesman said.

"We would like to thank the authorities for their kind consideration and will continue our commitment to the development of Jammu and Kashmir," Chief Executive Officer, Go First, Kaushik Khona said.

Go First is the only airline appointed for the cargo movement of horticultural perishable and agricultural produce of the Jammu and Kashmir Horticulture Products, a state-owned company, he said.
