3 out of 4 citizens in India don’t want full-fledged resumption of international flights from March-end: Survey

NEW DELHI: Three out of four Indians don’t want full-fledged resumption of international flights from March 27, as several countries are experiencing a major surge in COVID-19 cases led by BA.2.2 or other sub-lineages, showed a survey by Localcircles.
While 73% citizens surveyed are against India restarting full schedule commercial international flights, only 25 percent are in favour of the move. Currently, Hong Kong, South Korea, Vietnam, Germany, Netherlands, France, Australia and several other countries are experiencing a surge in COVID cases. Hence people surveyed have suggested the government should restart flights only from/to those countries where test positivity rate is in low single-digit.
The survey received 12,618 responses from across India.
