Speaking on the occasion?Mr. Jeh Wadia, Managing Director, GoAir?said: ?New York-based Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) is revered by the aviation industry for furthering the cause of passengers across the world. The?FOUR-STAR?ratings are manifestation of GoAir?s passenger-centric approach coupled with the youngest fleet that has an average age of just 3.8 years. The fact that GoAir passengers were asked for their feedback on the total travel experience ? from ticket purchase through baggage claim ? and that they voted overwhelming in favor of brand GoAir, it is testimony to the entire GoAir family that goes beyond the call of duty to make our passengers smile.?
