As birds out of cage, Indians flock to airline desks for a trip abroad

As India resumed regular international flights after two years on Sunday, airlines said there is a huge demand for flights from the country as many people are planning their summer holidays amid a decline in Covid-19 cases across the globe.

“Following the easing of restrictions, we are witnessing a huge demand for international travel,” William Boulter, chief commercial officer of IndiGo, said in a statement. “We hope that this enhanced connectivity with various destinations across the continent will provide a boost to the travel and tourism sector, while proving to be a catalyst for economic revival. As India’s leading airline, IndiGo remains committed to play its part in helping the nation bounce back.”
