Bookings for domestic flights, which are scheduled to be operated from May 25, are likely to open on Thursday. Sources told BusinessLine that all the airports in the country will be connected and that about one-third of the flights will be allowed to operate.
“This means that if an airline operated say 21 flights a day between Mumbai and Delhi they will be allowed seven. Details are being finalised and a clearer picture will emerge tomorrow (Thursday) after an official meeting,” official sources said.
This follows a tweet by Hardeep Puri, Minister of State for Civil Aviation on Wednesday, which stated that domestic flight operations will begin on May 25 in a calibrated manner. “All airports and air carriers are being informed to be ready for operations on May 25,”
