Airlines may have to change routes, timings in Maharashtra
MUMBAI: The disagreement between the Centre and the Maharashtra government over the date for restart of domestic flight operations is likely to hit thousands of passengers who have already booked tickets.
On Thursday, airlines had opened bookings for tickets on flights scheduled next week following a tweet on Wednesday by the civil aviation minister stating that domestic operations will be restarted from May 25. “In the next 24 hours, if the impasse is not resolved, airlines will have to carry out major rescheduling of their operations as a number of flights have been routed through Mumbai, India’s second busiest airport,” said an airline official.
