Three years after Nusli Wadia's Go First filed for voluntary bankruptcy, leaving over 50 aircraft stranded and deeply damaging global lessors' confidence, India is now rebuilding that trust. The company's May 2023 filing created significant legal and financial uncertainty as lessors struggled to repossess their assets.

Lessor Confidence Rebuilt With Rating Upgrade

The Aviation Working Group (AWG) has upgraded India's country risk rating to its highest level in recent years. This signifies that international aircraft owners and financiers now perceive a substantially lower risk environment for leasing aircraft into India. It suggests improvements in legal frameworks and operational procedures that better protect lessor interests.

Boost for Aviation Investment and Fleet Expansion

This enhanced rating is expected to attract more foreign investment into India's aviation sector. Airlines may find it easier to secure aircraft leases, potentially leading to more favorable terms and expanded fleet options. This development is crucial for the growth and modernization of India's aviation infrastructure, supporting both passenger and cargo services.
