Budget carrier AirAsia India is likely to resume operations with a fleet of 24 planes post lockdown, according to a source.
Amid financial woes, the airline is also unlikely to induct any new aircraft this fiscal.
A joint venture between Tata Sons and Malaysia’s AirAsia Berhad, the Bengaluru-based airline has 29 Airbus A320 planes in the fleet, catering to 21 domestic destinations.
All domestic and international commercial passenger flight operations have been suspended during the lockdown, which was initially imposed from March 25 to April 14 and thereafter extended till May 3.
Soon after the extended date was announced on April 14, some of the Indian carriers announced that they would recommence flight operations in a phased manner from May 4 and had started taking bookings also.
