New Delhi: Scheduled airlines in India will be able to sell seats up to 70% of an aircraft’s capacity on domestic flights, up from 60%, India’s aviation watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said on Wednesday in a further easing of restrictions on the sector clobbered by the covid-19 pandemic.
The measure will bring much relief to carriers, which are looking to increase capacity to fly more passengers during the ongoing festive season.
Indian airlines resumed domestic operations on 25 May, after being grounded for two months during a government-backed lockdown to contain the covid-19 pandemic.
