India’s aviation regulator on Friday gave its nod to Go Airlines to resume operations if it can meet certain conditions, including getting interim funding and approval of its flight schedule, an order viewed by Reuters showed.

The cash-strapped airline stopped flying operations in May and was granted bankruptcy protection after it plunged into a financial crisis, sparked by what it called “faulty” Pratt & Whitney engines that grounded about half its 54 Airbus A320neos.

The Raytheon-owned engine maker has said the claims are without merit.

“Scheduled flight operations can be commenced only after the availability of the required interim funding and approval of flight schedule by DGCA,” according to the order.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) added that the airline will only be able to sell tickets once the plan has been approved.
