Go First, founded as GoAir, was an Indian low-cost airline based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is owned by the Indian business conglomerate, Wadia Group. It commenced operations on 4 November 2005 and operated a fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft in an all economy configuration.

In 2021, the airline planned to launch an IPO to raise 36 billion (US$430 million). In 2023, the airline faced problems with the availability of Pratt & Whitney engines used on its entire fleet of A320 aircraft and alleged that the issue was impacting its operations. Subsequently, the airline ceased operations on 3 May 2023 and filed an application for voluntary insolvency before the National Company Law Tribunal.
