Amid the coronavirus pandemic, GoAir on Wednesday announced that the passengers who booked their tickets between March 1 and April 15 this year need not cancel or reschedule them as they can redeem the ticket price on any fresh booking done in next one year.

“If a customer cannot or chooses not to travel, they can simply not show up for the flight and GoAir will protect the PNR for a period of one year,” the airline stated in its press release.

“The passenger can contact GoAir at any time over the next one year to redeem this ticket on any GoAir flight on any date between 15th April, 2020 and 15th April, 2021 with no charges being levied (fare difference may be applicable),” it added.

This offer will apply to all existing and new bookings made between March 1 and April 15 – wherein customers who have booked any flight on any route will be “rest assured to not to initiate any rescheduling or cancellation” and will be saved from the “time consuming and tedious efforts to call or email their request”, the airline said.
