Each Airbus A320neo family aircraft purchased by GoAir would be powered by two PurePower PW1100G-JM engines with benefits, including double-digit reductions in fuel burn, environmental emissions, engine noise and operating costs when compared with today's engines.

The PurePower engine uses an advanced gear system allowing the engine’s fan to operate at a different speed than the low-pressure compressor and turbine. The combination of the gear system and an all-new advanced core delivers fuel efficiency and environmental benefits.

At present, Go Airlines operates across 21 destinations in India, with approximately 160 daily flights.
