Mumbai, July 13, 2021: GO FIRST (formerly known as GoAir) today announced the resumption of flights to Maldives from July 15, 2021 onwards, a move that is likely to work as a precursor to the revival of the sector.

Additionally, aimed at offering exceptional convenience to the passengers the flight schedule has been designed to provide seaplane connectivity at Male.
