NEW DELHI: Wadia Group Go Air, which has been as rebranded Go First, will be the third currently operational Indian airline to go public. The low-cost carrier has filed for an IPO to raise Rs 3,600 crore. IndiGo and SpiceJet are listed. Erstwhile Jet Airways and Kingfisher, which stopped flying in the last decade, were also listed.
Go First is raising funds at a time when Covid has severely impacted the financials of all airlines and trying to raise funds. India’s biggest airline (in terms of passengers flown) IndiGo last week decided to raise upto Rs 3,000 crore through “an issue of equity shares by way of a qualified institutions placement.” IndiGo for years has an offer from Qatar Airways chief Akbar Al Baker to invest in it whenever promoter Rahul Bhatia gives his nod for the same.
