GoAir to add business class seats in key routes

GoAir is considering changing its business model by adding business class seats to its all-economy planes in the backdrop of Kingfisher Airlines exiting the Indian airline market, Italian-born Chief Executive Giorgio De Roni has said. GoAir is considering the change even as the airline examines proposals to sell a stake to a foreign airline after appointing JPMorgan as its adviser.

The Wadia Group-owned low-cost airline also have routes to leisure destinations where it might not need eight business class seats but it has high demand for leisure traffic willing to fly economy class on affordable prices, he added.
