New Delhi: India may allow airlines to partially resume operations in the latter half of May or early June, said top government officials. Days after train services were allowed on a limited scale, the government may allow some flights to operate between key cities.
“We are discussing restarting of operations,” said a senior government official, who requested anonymity. “It may happen during the current month itself, and the plan is not to extend it (the ban on flights) beyond the first week of June.”
India grounded all commercial flights from March 25 after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
