NEW DELHI : Cash-strapped Indian carriers have again reopened bookings for passenger flights in the hope that the government will finally lift a nearly two-month ban on air travel from 1 June.
All airlines, other than national carrier Air India Ltd, have since the last weekend started to take bookings for domestic flights, two online travel agents said on condition of anonymity.
India suspended all flights since 25 March when the government first imposed a nationwide lockdown. The lockdown has since been extended thrice, every fortnight, from the initial announcement date. The latest and fourth phase will run till 31 May.
