With the international flights launch, GoAir will become the sixth domestic airline to go international.

GoAir currently operates 230 daily flights to 23 domestic destinations, with a fleet of over 35 aircraft. This includes 19 A320 neo planes.
Meanwhile, rival IndiGo also announced the addition of Male and Phuket as its latest international destinations. Male will be the thirteenth and Phuket will be the fourteenth destination on the IndiGo's network.
