Go Business: During the economic slowdown, several companies cut down on corporate spending. As a result, several full service airlines saw a drastic drop in the bookings of their Business class seats. GoAir was quick to cash in on this with its ‘Go Business’ product. Go Business comprises the first two rows of the aircraft with the middle seat empty and more legroom. In addition, hot meals are served, along with lounge access and in-flight entertainment.
