Arrival and departure of as many as 80 flights were cancelled at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport on Monday, the first day of phased resumption of domestic flights after a two-month suspension, officials said.
Earlier, the flight schedule had been done for all airports, including those in West Bengal (where flight operations will now start from May 28), Maharashtra (which has allowed only 25 takeoffs and 25 landings in a day) and Chennai (where incoming passenger flights are restricted to 25).
Domestic flight operations had been suspended soon after the imposition of the first nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus in March 2020.
