Airlines may get 10-day notice to restart flights
New Delhi | Mumbai: Airlines and passengers stranded in India are likely to be informed 10 days before flight operations resume, government sources told ET. One of them suggested that services could commence early June. All commercial flights have been grounded since March 25.
“Restarting operations will depend on the situation with respect to number of (coronavirus) cases but the expectations are that it should start by the first week of June,” said a senior aviation ministry official.
“We plan to allow airlines to open booking 10 days prior to the restart of operations.” This only pertains to domestic services and there are currently no discussions about restarting international operations, he said.
