As we go along, demand will change … will have to work out: Hardeep Puri on air travel bubbles

India is in advanced stage of negotiations for establishing air bubbles with several nations to fly people internationally amidst travel restrictions on incoming passengers by various jurisdictions.

“Till international civil aviation can reclaim its pre-COVID situation in terms of numbers, I think the answer lies in these bilateral air bubbles, which will carry as many people as possible but under defined conditions because many countries are still posing entry restrictions as are we. It’s not that anyone can travel from anywhere to anywhere,” Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Wednesday.
