NEW DELHI: Airlines are free to take ticket bookings from passengers for any date after April 14, said aviation secretary Pradeep Singh Kharola on Thursday, suggesting that those bookings may have to be cancelled in case the 21-day lockdown is extended.
India is under a lockdown from March 25 till April 14 to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, and consequently, all domestic and international commercial passenger flights have been suspended for this time period.
“The government direction is very clear that the lockdown has been announced, and the lockdown is up to April 14. That is what has been said so far,” Kharola told reporters in a press conference.
