"Go First has one of the youngest fleet globally -- an average fleet age of 3.7 years as on February 2021. As on February 10, 2021, 82 per cent of our fleet is predominantly fuel efficient A320neos - which are 17 to 20 per cent more fuel-efficient than the A320ceo aircraft with the lightest configuration."
