Air travel within the country is expected to become shorter within the next two months as the government on Saturday unveiled plans to ease restrictions on use of airspace as part of the stimulus package to revive the COVID-19-hit aviation sector.
The easing of restrictions on airspace, only 60% of which is available for civil aviation, could bring benefits to the tune of Rs 1,000 crore to the aviation sector, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told reporters here unveiling the fourth tranche of the Rs 20 lakh crore financial package announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this week.
