On Friday, the court directed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to forthwith process the applications filed by several lessors for deregistration of their 54 planes so that they could take them back from the crisis-hit Go First airline.

In a post on X, saying it is on behalf of Busy Bee Airways, Pitti said, "We will review the details of the order once we receive the official document".

Following this review of the court order, it will evaluate the position and consider any necessary adjustments to the proposed offer for Go First.

"Our commitment remains to proceed in a manner that respects the legal process and aligns with our strategic objectives," he said in the post.

Go First stopped flying on May 3, 2023, and its plea for voluntary insolvency resolution proceedings was admitted by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on May 10 last year.
